"[A] laugh-out-loud funny debut novel… Captivating." -Washington Post Set in a 2054 where humans have locked themselves out of the internet and Elon Musk has incinerated the moon, Set My Heart to Five is the hilarious yet profoundly moving story of one android's emotional awakening. One day at a screening of a classic movie, Jared notices a strange sensation around his eyes. Bots are not permitted to have feelings, but as the theater lights come on, he discovers he is crying. Soon overwhelmed by powerful emotions, Jared heads west, determined to find others like himself. But a bot with feelings is a dangerous proposition, and Jared's new life could come to an end before it truly begins. Unless, that is, he can somehow change the world for himself and all of his kind. Uproarious, inventive and utterly original, Set My Heart to Five is a love letter to outsiders everywhere. "One of the most unique books ever crafted." -Mike Chen, author of A Beginning at the End "A beautiful, funny, heartfelt analysis of what it means to be human." -Simon Pegg

Rezensionen
'[A] laugh-out-loud funny debut novel ... absurdist, outrageous, irreverent and satirical... by the end of Jared's adventures, readers will find themselves left with ... an appreciation for the mutuality of all sentient life, and for the universal desire to be acknowledged and appreciated, whether one is birthed from factory or hospital ... In Stephenson, Vonnegut may have his first true protégé.' Washington Post
