    One book that's been on my radar for a while is Olivetti by Allie Millington which is told from the perspective of a typewriter and the boy that uses it.

    I'm curious to know if there are books out there (preferably adult, YA, or middle grade) that are told primarily from the perspective of a non-human or non-animal. Like the object is the main character and not just a supporting character in the human's story lol

    And I'm not necessarily looking for stories with talking animals or magic objects that can talk to humans like humans talk to humans if that makes sense.

      I don’t have any non-human *and* non-animal recs, but Beautiful Joe and Black Beauty are both from the POV of a non-magical animal who can’t communicate with humans

      The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells (viewpoint character is a cyborg with a mostly computer brain)
