Heat, rain, a biting stench. Iris paces through her penthouse in Manhattan, waiting impatiently for the next dinner party to breathe some life into her. Ling, employed at a sex-doll factory in south-eastern China, checks artificial female bodies for manufacturing defects before retreating into her loneliness in the evening with classic films. And in old, dark Europe, Ada follows her mathematical obsessions, dreaming of calculations and new kinds of machines. Three women in three worlds, all looking for an answer, for the heart of things, and all of them, without knowing it, connected. A novel about women and artificial intelligence.
