Here I am again making an individual book review. This time because I've encountered one of the most exciting unexpected finds that's come across my desk in a long time. I've mentioned the name Connie Willis a number of times because I keep seeing her name and to date I had never read any of her books. Well, I found this copy of All About Emily at a library sale. It is a 96-page novella and it is one of the most exciting things I have read in a very long time. It's very unusual for me to find a book that leaves me thinking about it and waiting to get home so I can pick it up and keep reading it. Everybody who enjoys reading understands that feeling. Anyway, this is an interesting little science fiction piece set in the near future. Starring an aging Broadway actress who finds herself face-to-face with the threat of artificial intelligence, the threat specifically being the threat of taking people's jobs away from them, and it is happening from a direction that nobody expected. And yes, as the title implies, it is a parallel to the 1950 Betty Davis movie All About Eve. The only thing more I will say about it is that the writing is amazing. The dialogue, especially, is gripping and a hundred percent believable, and apparently Connie Willis has a tradition of writing a Christmas story every year, and this is one, and it has an appropriate ending for a traditional Christmas story, and I loved it start to finish and I give it my highest recommendation.
