Troofriend - Reviews
An agreeably sinister account of artificial intelligence, sentience and corporate obfuscation. Told from Ivy's perspective, Applebaum's second novel is a heartfelt, compelling sci-fi story.
The Guardian
Troofriend is a quirky and addictively readable sci-fi novel posing questions about friendship, independence and what it means to be human.
