What Happens When a Guy and His AI Girlfriend Go to Therapy


In Sierra Greer's new novel, Annie Bot, a man named Doug finds out what it means to have the “perfect” girlfriend.

Doug eases back, leaning against the window ledge, and though this is the most overt anger and frustration that Annie has heard him express in months, she senses some relief beneath his hostility. When Doug returns from work that evening, he brings home a small, ugly dog with a brown face and black ears, and he takes him out on the fire escape to show him the view. Annie cleans up after Paunch’s accidents and vacuums the apartment every afternoon, so it is fresh and free of dog hair when Doug comes home from work.
