The Hierarchies by Ros Anderson
Sylv.ie is a synthetic woman. A fully sentient robot, designed to cater to her Husband's every whim. She lives alone on the top floor of his luxurious home, her existence barely tolerated by his human wife and concealed from their child.
"A masterful, gripping debut..While the plot is propulsive and page-turning, The Hierarchies allows Sylvie's incisive meditations on beauty and human nature to shine through....A fascinating take on artificial intelligence. The Hierarchies deserves to be considered a classic of feminist dystopian fiction.";--Jennie Melamed, author of Gather the Daughters;"Wickedly funny...A total page-turner.... Offers a terrifying and compelling vision of our future world in which desire shifts with and shapes around technology, and bots are more human than people.";--Katie M. Flynn, author of The Companions;;"Fascinating...Anderson gracefully executes the process of Sylv.ie's self-discovery, making her feel real and deeply sympathetic... Readers will be drawn in by Sylv.ie's emotional story.";--Publishers Weekly; “Excels as a commentary on women’s bodies and their commodification, the power imbalance between the sexes and the future of sex.”--Herald Scotland
