How about trying a novel in Spanish? Amores Virtuales is one of the most astounding novels I've read in recent years. Dr. Ulises Blanco is a recently widowed psychiatrist who consents to online therapy via an avatar representing his beloved mentor, also deceased. Some of the machine-driven therapy is effective and some causes him to blunder magnificently. This plus his relationships with his existing human clients make for interesting novelistic twists. The author is a practicing psychotherapist so expect some weighty reflections on the life process and on self-revelation.
