The Germans Have a Word for It

<p><strong>I love when a book reminds me of . . . Black Mirror. - Netgalley Reader</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>It's a clever unusual story and a cautionary tale . . . - Terry Tyler author <em>Safe Zone</em> and <em>The Devil You Know</em></strong></p><p></p><p><strong>A twisted twisty and surprisingly human story of love in the age of AI.</strong></p><p></p><p>Davis never imagined that he'd fall in love with an app. But then he never imagined that he would lose his wife either. Rachel's death left him vulnerable-and then the <em>geisterstille</em> set in: the overwhelming neverness and existential horror that sent him running into the arms of a griefbot.</p><p></p><p>But that was then. Now they're doing just fine-Davis and Rachel 2.0. They've become quite attached to one another. Their life is almost . . . normal. He takes her on drives. She helps him pick out towels. They've even worked out a way for her to earn money-to pay for her steady stream of new features. There's only one major problem: <em>someone wants to delete her</em>.</p><p></p><p>With characters that pop off the pages a frighteningly plausible plot and enough comic moments to make you forget it's a book about death <em>The Germans Have a Word for It</em> is a literary ride that is as entertaining as it is unsettling.</p>
