I read this at the same time as I was completing my Autism assessment in November 2021. They were compatible and parallel in my opinion. I found I could relate to Klara particularly (characteristic deficits e.g. empathy deficiency, devoid of true emotion, non-receptive personality). I was confused at first as she was stating she was feeling things yet was incapable of that as an AI entity? I was unaware of the 'unreliable narrator' style and technique so thought it was an error at first 🙃 Kazuo Ishiguro knows what he's doing after all 🤓 #NobelPrizeInLiterature 👍

One of my favourite books. I read it for the first time around a quarter of a century ago and again in the last few years (and enjoyed watching the film for the first time recently too). I can relate to Mr Stevens situation with his characteristic deficits e.g. empathy deficiency, devoid of true emotion and non-receptive personality sadly (I say sadly as it sounds logically sad. Do I feel sad about it, in reality? I'm unsure as I'm habitually numb disconnected (diagnosed Dysthymia in 2010 + Autism Level 1 in 2021 (which synchronized nicely with Klara and the Sun, synchronistically 🤓👍)) sadly 🙃)
