    Excellent read – this is the second book by Kazuo Ishiguro that has rightfully made it into our list of highest scoring books

    Another great book by Ishiguro. His simple, straightforward style makes this work accessible to even the most hardened sci-fi sceptics. He makes you care about the fate of Klara even though she/it is effectively a robot. There is a lot of Philip K Dick and Kurt Vonnegut here – real vs artificial, decaying societies, class struggles, etc. – and, like them, Ishiguro proves that sci-fi is not just rocket ships and bug-eyed monsters, it can also be great literature.
