Klara and the Sun is the first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature 2017

In einer nahen Zukunft wartet Klara, eine künstliche Intelligenz, auf "ihren" Menschen, den sie als "Artificial Friend" begleiten kann. Als sie schließlich von der 14-jährigen Josie ausgewählt wird, entwickelt sich eine tiefe Bindung zwischen den beiden. Doch Klaras Versuch, durch eigene Entscheidungen aktiv in das Schicksal des kranken Mädchens einzugreifen, erweist sich als zunehmend problematisch. Literaturnobelpreisträger Kazuo Ishiguro erzählt in Klara and the Sun eine berührende Geschichte über Vertrauen, Verantwortung und die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine.
