There is a lot of deep and intense anlaysis of the premise of this novel on the internet. It could be considered at its heart a reflection on what is a soul. Kara, is an artificial friend (AF) to Josie, a 14 year old 'lifted' (genetically altered) child who suffers from illnesses (not specified but possibly due to being lifted). The story retold through the thoughts of Kara. The novel explores what is love, what is intelligence, what is life. Kara is willing to give a lot to enable Josie to live a full life. It explores faith and science and that technology does not mean that you have to forgo faith or love. An interesting premise that generated a good disussion especially when compared with the novel by Ian McEwan - Machines Like Us.
