Teaching Machines how To Cry

In Teaching Machines how To Cry Paula Hidalgo-Sanchis explores the story of Alba, a young woman seeking answers for a feeling of longing she can't explain, and M, an AI prototype.
Alba was a child when she first spent time with M, until they were unexpectedly driven apart. As an adult, Alba slowly realises that M might hold the answers to her life-long yearning when she remembers that the last time she felt whole was as a child when she taught M how to cry.
This novel explores the symbiosis between AI and the human soul and raises the questions of how machines and humans might live and evolve together in a not so-distant future.
