Nobel-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro on artificial intelligence and why he writes

The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go are the novels that made Kazuo Ishiguro a household name, still taught on the English syllabus. Having won everything from the Booker to a knighthood, he is the only living British winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. His new novel, Klara and the Sun, is on the surface a sci-fi about artificial intelligence, but of course it is about much more, mostly love.

We spoke to Kazuo Ishiguro for this week’s Ways to Change the World podcast and began by asking what he wants people to know about the new storyline.
