the Hundredth Question: A Novel of Grief, AI, and Questions We’re Afraid to Ask Ourselves — Man’s 100-Night Journey Through Loss, Memory, Search for Meaning

What happens when a grieving man begins asking the same five chatbots the same one hundred questions every night?After his wife dies in a car accident, Sam Keller begins a private ritual: each night, he asks five different AIs the same profound question and records their answers. What starts as a desperate attempt to understand his grief slowly becomes something far more dangerous - an unflinching examination of who he really is when no one is watching.Over one hundred nights, Sam confronts the questions he's spent his life avoiding: Who am I beneath my roles? What do I most regret? Am I capable of love? What will I leave behind? As the answers accumulate, the boundary between man and machine begins to blur - and Sam must decide what he is willing to surrender to become whole again.The Hundredth Question is a haunting, deeply human novel about grief, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to live an honest life. Blending literary fiction with the strange intimacy of artificial intelligence, it asks what it truly means to be known - by others, by ourselves, and by the questions we dare to ask.For fans of: Never Let Me Go, The Midnight Library, and A Man Called Ove.
