About this episode

The episode discusses Sierra Greer's novel 'Annie Bot', exploring themes of AI and domestic abuse.

Less a story about AI, and more "what if that Star Trek episode about whether Data was a person was also exploring the concept of domestic abuse?" Greer writes a short punchy novel that is occasionally uncomfortable but thoughtfully constructed, not unlike a sentient humanoid robot might be. This episode is sponsored by Squarespace.
