“But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it feel this way to you?”

"The Heart Hath Its Own Memory, Like The Mind,

"The heart hath its own memory, like the mind,

And in it are enshrined

The precious keepsakes, into which are wrought

The giver's loving thought."

---Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; From My Arm-Chair, 1879

“La storia era stata pensata come un libro per bambini illustrato. Io amo i libri illustrati per bambini. Mia figlia Naomi, anche lei scrittrice, mi ha detto che non mi sarei dovuto avvicinare con una storia del genere a bambini piccoli perché li avrei sconvolti. Quando ho scritto Non lasciarmi ero consapevole di star usando fantascienza, mentre con Klara e il sole non ho sentito il genere. In questo periodo non vedo una gran differenza tra il mondo che ci circonda e quello che racconto. Non penso che la mia storia sia impossibile, è un'immagine distorta di quello che viviamo. Nello scrivere questo romanzo ero interessato alla questione delle relazioni umane nell'epoca dell'intelligenza artificiale.”
