What does it mean to be human?
When Eleanor makes the drive to her deceased father’s house to arrange his funeral, she discovers Isaac, a care-bot. Isaac had been caring for her father without her knowledge, ever since the incident six years ago, when her father had confused her for a home intruder.
But as Eleanor learns more about Isaac, she also discovers a caring, sensitive person in the android. He fills the void in her life created from her fear of connecting with others, and starts to reconnect Eleanor to her father and her Papi, who passed away when she was fourteen.
But is Isaac a replacement for human contact? For that matter, what is Isaac? A simple programmed construct, or a person who can grow and learn? Follow Eleanor’s journey in Allee Mead’s debut book, Isaac.
