S. McMoyler's novella, The Uploading of Bridgette, centers on Robert, a married man who struggles to focus, gets lost in his thoughts, and frequently acts as though he doesn't truly care about the circumstances he finds himself in. Robert is married to Bridgette, who lives away from the real world in the simulation most of the time. This began when she lost her child, Juney. Unable to bear life in the real world, she turned to other sources of solace because her husband, Robert, frequently made light of situations and laughed about them. He was either dreaming or making ridiculous jokes. Will Bridgette find the solace she seeks in the virtual world or in her home with her spouse? Find out by reading this fantastic novel.

The author has written a really good piece. Because it was succinct and masterfully written, people would need less time to read it. Robert and I had a great connection on a number of levels since I, too, frequently lose myself in my imagination and frequently overlook the circumstances around me. The setting of this book was the age of artificial intelligence taking over the globe. It was possible for humanity to live forever in a virtual environment free from illness, and I believe that's where our current world is headed. We are gradually approaching a future where the average person would have difficulty finding work due to automation; however, it may take some time. This little work has a pretty intriguing plot and a lot of thrilling scenes, so I really enjoyed reading it. 

The novel contained several sexual references, including comments about Shakira's behind, which I found offensive. I don't think kids should be allowed to read this book because I thought it was superfluous, and I also thought it used a lot of borderline profanity, which is improper for kids. While reading this book, I also noticed a few mistakes. It truly needs to be reviewed by the editors once again.

I would give this book a rating of four out of five stars since, as I previously mentioned, the usage of profanity and sexual references wasn't essential. Apart from that, I really enjoyed reading this book, and it was a great read. Adult readers who appreciate fantasy and virtual worlds should definitely pick up this book, in my opinion.

This novella uses science fiction to addresse the very serious themes of people who struggle with their situation. In this case, virtual reality is a way to escape from their reality. I have no problem with sexual contents or profanity, so I'm interested in this novella. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)
