## What Jamie wrote

[Never Let Me Go](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Let_Me_Go_(novel)) was the first Ishiguro book I read and thought it was great. A friend of mine commented that Ishiguro is "all [pathos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathos)". That might suggest Ishiguro is an astute observer on the topic of AI manipulating emotions.
