katikat"Soulmates" by Mike Resnick and Lezli Robyn
4 stars out of 5
This is a short story published in Asimov's so you can't really consider it a book but it's such a lovely tale that I just had to mention it. What is it about?
Gary loses his wife Kathy, his soulmate, he has to unplug her and let her die because she's brain dead after a car accident. But he feels so guilty he starts drinking and his alcoholism threatens his job as a night watchman in a factory. But then he meets the troubleshooting robot MOZ-512 and they become friends.
The story is really short, around 9k words, but the friendship between a man and a machine that starts questioning its programming is wonderful! Do read it if you come across it, it's worth it!
