Ishiguro paints an amazing, emotional story about Klara and brings to mind so many interesting concepts in his book. Does augmenting the human mind or replicating it with artificial intelligence somehow take away from its inherent value? Is the concept of oneself truly unique, and distinct from all other people or entities? Ishiguro reminds us that it may not be what is within us that gives us our undefinable uniqueness but the effect and love we hold in others.
