Britain has lost the Falklands war, Margaret Thatcher battles Tony Benn for power and Alan Turing achieves a breakthrough in artificial intelligence. In a world not quite like this one, two lovers will be tested beyond their understanding.
Machines Like Me occurs in an alternative 1980s London. 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 batch of synthetic humans. With Miranda’s assistance, he co-designs Adam’s personality. This near-perfect human is beautiful, strong and clever – a love triangle soon forms. These three beings will confront a profound moral dilemma. Ian McEwan’s subversive and entertaining new 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 of the power to invent things beyond our control.
Ian McEwan’s command of the English language and his skills for storytelling still shines through in this latest novel. However there are just a few too many issues and themes this story tries to cover (as the Guardian review also notes) - consciousness, t...

麦老师新著,去年上海见面会上提到过的科幻题材。会不会像石黑一雄的 Never Let me go O(∩_∩)O哈哈~。看了两章,有点小失望哦,不如never let me go的行云流水。就看麦老师后面怎么翻盘吧。麦老师如此恋恋于他的八十年代 (^o^)/
评分麦克尤恩
评分麦克尤恩去年出版的新小说( 疑惑为何迟迟未出中文版。内容聚焦上世纪阿兰图灵的时代,叙述人与AI共生的选择,同时夹杂大量对英国社会的思考、对脱欧的影射。时空倒置,以及麦克尤恩拒绝承认这是一本科幻,倒让整本小说有了一种“the past is extinct”的怀旧感。另外语言上不愧是老写手了,措辞风格都很特别。
评分Adam最后一次外出,彻夜未归,回来后还怪怪的。Charlie一看新闻,发现首相被炸。。。看到此处,我还以为Adam去玩了票大的,哈哈哈
评分不是很开心的阅读体验。。。一开始蛮有意思,从机器人和女友上床后就开始没劲了。核心问题其实也是很多作品都讨论过的,what makes us human?但好像尚未有确切答案
