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!
A future where humanity is numbed by medication and entertainment. While robots are programmed to serve and govern. The book is about the awakening of our two human protagonists, who go off on an adventure which is primarily fueled by the rediscovery of the act of reading.
This was perfectly fine, but too clear-cut for my taste.
