Klappentext
From the author of the instant cult classic Catherine House, a story of one woman's search to find her place in a looming uncanny future.
Crystal Washington---awkward, underpaid, chronically ignored Crystal---has never fit in at Acme, the glossy tech startup where she works as an administrative assistant. Until the day she meets Juliet. Juliet, a magnetic scientist in Acme's mysterious Social Machines department, is looking for a roommate. And she sees something in Crystal that no one else ever has: a friend.
As Crystal and Juliet develop a haunted, obsessive intimacy, Crystal realizes she would do anything for Juliet, anything to keep her close. Nothing could possibly get between the two of them---until Juliet is chosen to beta-test Acme's newest top-secret project, a plush robot "companion toy." Juliet is instantly enamored. But Crystal senses something sinister about the adorable creature. Is Crystal going crazy? Or is there a menacing gleam in those plastic eyes?
Grounded in a character determined to find some truth in an increasingly artificial world, Peanut is a reckoning with what it means to be human.
