Praise for this book
"I found The Glass Woman a chilling and urgent voice in ongoing debate about AI influence on human life. This novel gets to the essence of the threat; it's not about robots taking over human jobs but the human mind, being in control of human self. Ariel's voice is a rare and excellently executed second person narration." - Ania Bas
