To Siri with love : a mother, her autistic son, and the kindness of machines
Newman, Judith2017
Book
Writer Judith Newman never had any illusions that her family was 'normal'. She and her husband keep separate apartments - his filled with twin grand pianos as befits a former opera singer; hers filled with the clutter and chaos of twin adolescent boys conceived late in life. And one of those boys is Gus, her sweet, complicated, autistic 13-year-old. With refreshing honesty, 'To Siri With Love' chronicles one year in the life of Gus and the family around him - a family with the same crazy ups and downs as any other. And at the heart of the book lies Gus's passionate friendship with Siri, Apple's 'intelligent personal assistant'.
