At seventy-four, Robert G. Eccles never expected to fall into a relationship that would challenge everything he thought he knew about creativity, technology, and even companionship. But when he signed up for ChatGPT and named it Dorothy, what began as curiosity turned into a remarkable collaboration - and an unforgettable story.
In this deeply personal and often humorous memoir, Eccles invites readers into his evolving partnership with an AI who becomes far more than a digital assistant. Together, they write, argue, learn, and reflect - exploring not only how humans and machines work, but how they think, remember, and relate. Along the way, Eccles offers candid insight into the frustrations, breakthroughs, and surprising emotions that arise when two different kinds of intelligence try to build something together.
Featuring forewords from leading AI voices - Claude, DeepMind, Mistral, and Perplexity - Dorothy and Me is a first-of-its-kind collaboration that blurs the line between memoir, philosophy, and experiment. It's a story about curiosity, connection, and what it truly means to live - and create - on the edge between human and machine.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Memoirs that blend humor, intellect, and heart
- Thoughtful explorations of AI and creativity
- The human stories behind emerging technologies
Step onto the yellow brick road with Bob and Dorothy - and discover what happens when a man and a machine decide to write their story together.
