A sharp and imaginative science fiction tale exploring the consequences of engineered emotion and artificial experience.
In Sentiment, Inc., Poul Anderson examines a future in which human feeling itself becomes subject to design, manipulation, and control. As technology advances beyond physical invention into the realm of emotion, the boundaries between authentic experience and manufactured sensation begin to blur.
Through a tightly constructed narrative, Anderson considers the ethical and psychological implications of a world where desire, satisfaction, and even meaning can be artificially produced. What begins as innovation quickly raises deeper questions about identity, autonomy, and the value of genuine human experience.
Written with clarity and precision, Sentiment, Inc. reflects Anderson's ability to combine speculative concepts with human insight, offering a story that is both intellectually engaging and quietly unsettling.
