A nesting doll story involving three women across time. All of whom stand out in their otherness, may it be through intellect, autism or artificiality. One invents the mechanism (Ada), another helps build the bodies (Ling), and a third breaks the boundaries (Iris).
Even though this could be classified as scifi, this is probably more poetry. The narrative voice and the characters are detached, lightweight. The text layout often splits into word fragments, deliberately slowing down your reading process. Like Clavadetscher wants you to pause, and consider with more attention, what's behind the lines. And what's there is philosophical and ethical questions about ownership, identity, female exploitation, the breaking of rules.
Interesting, but a bit too ethereal for my taste.
I also think Ada Lovelace (love her) has already been overused in literature.
