I read this because it's on the 2014 shortlist for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, which I was discussing at Eastercon.( slightly spoilery review )
The Machine contains all that is left of who he once was. Already it’s processed his story, the speech-to-text system inside it turning his spoken, quivering memories into data and patching them. Filling in the cracks in his story. Somewhere, inside the Machine, are the exact constituents of what – who – Vic will be. [loc 1726]
