Erasing Emily

Compelling read

Loved the twist ending. Left me thinking about it for a coupla days. By all means read the bonus epilogue on F.M.'s site.

Clever, enjoyable and relevant

This is a very good book, easy to read and not bogged down with unnecessary narrative.

I wont give the plot away, suffice to say it asks questions about when an AI becomes conscious, and then the emancipation of robots that may follow such an event.

Very relevant in todays world.

Robot justice

This could be the future of robotics or AI. If AI becomes conscious we may have to think about the rules raised in this book

Excellent story

This book is excellent and really deserves a second installment.
I really encourage everyone to read this not my usual type of book but very glad I read it.

Impressive writing

Modern take on “To Kill a Mocking Bird” feel to it. Good v/s power, supported by mob hysteria and also public indifference. Very familiar territory today.

A lot of subtle twists and a thorough examination of prejudice in all of us at many levels.

But be careful, after reading it you might become egalitarian.

What an interesting read, a real page turner from the beginning to the very end. If there are any further books from this author, particularly any involving Emily, I would gladly enjoy reading.

Creative, engaging, and thought provoking. What makes Erasing Emily so plausible and interesting is its timing.

Growing use of self driving vehicles, robotic vacuums, AI assistants like Alexa+, and Agentic AI applications makes it plausible. Growing number of moral and legal considerations about co-existing with intelligent robots makes it interesting.

A Surprisingly Fun and Engaging Read!

I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I don’t typically gravitate toward this genre, but from the very first chapter, I was completely drawn in.

At first, Emily’s character left me uncertain, but as the tale progressed, she revealed herself to be sharp, witty, and genuinely likable; like a friend everyone wishes they had.

The story feels incredibly real, almost as if it could be unfolding in today’s world. It explores social issues that are not only relevant to our present but also echo the past and hint at the future, especially with the growing influence of AI.

Give it a read. You won’t be disappointed.

Best. Lines. Ever. She puts the engineer, and humanity, right in their places.

Wow. Malka’s writing is sharp and crisp and completely versatile. He absolutely captures the sterile environment of a robotics environment while being personal enough to make you care. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

There are so many delicious layers to this intriguing story. Emily’s growth of consciousness is exciting to witness. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were real, their actions and reactions plausible.
The story explores the legal side of conscious artificial intelligences gaining legal status as individuals in a high stakes court battle.
I much prefer happy endings, and this delivered.

Brilliant

Couldn't stop reading!

Fun mixture of robot technology, relationships, and even the ins and outs of the legal system. So entertaining! I couldn't stop reading.

Easy and compelling read!

Read cover to cover in two days. Couldn’t put it down! Emily’s integration in today’s world is so relatable with the technology we see everywhere today. Read this book if you want what I think is a real preview of the world to come:)

Amazing book!

The author masterfully weaves together themes of ethics in technology, the impact of artificial intelligence, and societal changes, making the narrative not just entertaining but thought-provoking.

One of the standout features of this novel is the author's ability to create relatable characters who grapple with dilemmas that mirror our real-world challenges. As the plot unfolds, readers are drawn into a whirlwind of suspense and intrigue, making it nearly impossible to put the book down.
