The future is a grim place in which the declining human population wanders drugged and lulled by electronic bliss. It's a world without art, reading and children, a world that people would rather burn themselves alive than endure. Even Spofforth, the most perfect machine ever created, cannot bear it and seeks only that which he cannot have - to cease to be. But there is hope for the future in the passion and joy that a man and woman discover in love and in books, hope even for Spofforth. A haunting novel, reverberating with anguish but also celebrating love and the magic of a dream.

This is a very special book.
It is rare that a book gives you such a sense of gratitude for being able to read, it is a celebration of knowledge.
Great read that gets you hooked after the first page.
It might be a 3/5 but the description of the characters learning about the concept of reading was a 5/5. Read as a part of a book club and it was an amazing book for creating great discussions.
It's not perfect, but if you're a fan of dystopian SCIFI you should give it a shot!
