Gregg Hurwitz, The Delivery

About: A couple overwhelmed with work and parenthood get help from a new technology, an AI assistant in human form who can anticipate their every desire.

Verdict: This was a fun, short read. We can guess going in, of course, that the promise of having all your chores done by a relentlessly pleasant robot that's focused solely on your needs isn't going to work out. And it doesn't. But it's fun to see the premise play out. It's also a little maddening, because I feel like the admittedly troubling complications the characters run into with their assistant could be overcome with a software upgrade or two, and I very much want my own AI robot.
