Content warning Minor spoilers
It's all written from the first-person perspective of Klara. We don't know who she is, but she starts off watching people out of a shop window. It's about humans' treatment of other-than-us, but also empathy and altruism in general. Ishiguro's vision of AI I think presents a potential to achieve an ideal. Sad, realistic, but maybe in that sense optimistic.
Became an immediate favourite for me.
