Machines Like Me Waterstones Exclusive Edition

null, 2019. First. Hardback. Good. Outline:- Set in an uncanny alternative 1982 London—where Britain has lost the Falklands War Margaret Thatcher battles Tony Benn for power and Alan Turing achieves a breakthrough in artificial intelligence—Machines Like Me powerfully portrays two lovers who will be tested beyond their understanding. Charlie drifting through life and dodging full-time employment is in love with Miranda a bright student who lives with a terrible secret. When Charlie comes into money he buys Adam one of the first generation of synthetic humans. With Miranda`s assistance he codesigns Adam`s personality. The near-perfect human that emerges is beautiful strong and smart—and a love triangle soon forms. Ian McEwan`s subversive gripping novel poses fundamental questions: What makes us human—our outward deeds or our inner lives? Could a machine understand the human heart? This provocative and thrilling tale warns against the power to invent things beyond our control.-> the publisher of this HARDBACK book is null The date of this copy is 2019 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
