\"Witty, incisive, funny and deeply prescient. C.J. Farley has his finger on the pulse of our current moment and exposes the complications of Black life, labor, and thought in the midst of it.\" - Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America
\"The Black Arts movement of the 1960s began the revolt against Anglo standards and liberated Hispanic, Native American, and Asian American writers. But Black Arts writers were mostly poets. Beginning in 1996, C.J. Farley, Colson Whitehead, Paul Beatty, and Victor LaValle did the same for the Black novel. With his novel about a Black woman\'s struggles in the world of Big Tech, Farley\'s \'Who Knows You By Heart\' is the first AI novel, and coupled with his vast knowledge of pop culture, he has written a novel about our times.\" - Ishmael Reed, author of \"Mumbo Jumbo\"
\"With prose as provocative as it is entertaining, WHO KNOWS YOU BY HEART brings readers face-to-face with AI in fiction\'s most original and visceral way yet. A story about the cost of getting ahead without selling your soul, Farley\'s latest shows that machines are not inert, but living reflections of our own society. This novel couldn\'t have come at a better time.\" - Mateo Askaripour, New York Times bestselling author of Black Buck
\"Farley\'s Who Knows You by Heart is a timely masterpiece addressing the prevalent racism and sexism in technology and the moral conundrums presented by AI.\"
