Marjorie Prime

A 2015 Pulitzer Prize finalist by Jordan Harrison.

Marjorie Prime is set 40 years in the future, in a world of advanced artificial intelligence. 80 year-old Marjorie spends her days with her “prime” companion Walter, a machine that resembles her deceased husband and was created to feed her life stories back to her. Issues of grief and depression are examined as Marjorie chooses what she wants to remember, and what she wants to erase.
