Description
Hannah Silva's non-fiction book explores the complexities of love, motherhood, and identity through an unconventional lens. She navigates her life with the input of two unreliable narrators - an algorithm and a toddler - who encourage flights of imagination and infinite mischief. As she writes and re-writes herself and her child, the toddler's playful curiosity and the algorithm's digital insights inject humour and insight into her life. Through her experiences, Silva deconstructs and reconstructs love, questioning societal norms and the universal credit system that can be impossible for single parents to access. Her book is a thoughtful and compassionate exploration of queer single motherhood, friendships, and parenting. With its unique blend of humour, insight, and honesty, My Child, the Algorithm offers a fresh perspective on love, family, and identity.
