Speak by Louisa Hall

Interweaving multiple first-person voices across different eras, the novel follows creators, users and the machines they animate as it quietly examines how language, memory, grief and loneliness shape the bonds between humans and conversational devices; through fragmented narratives it probes the ethical and emotional stakes of trying to reproduce a mind in code, showing what we preserve, distort and lose when we teach machines to speak for us.
