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.

平行八十年代讀來莫名有趣 讀到A-and-Es集體意識自毀時隻能嘆一口氣 或許人類情感的復雜多變捉摸不定已經不能簡化成純粹的形式瞭 總是忍不住覺得每個人物都很可疑 不得不說文學的未來植根於俳句似乎無法反駁哈哈!
评分前半本極好，後半本略遜，但還是麥剋尤恩。
评分這是我在得到上聽到的一本書。感覺還是很不錯的！雖然個人有個人對一本書的見解，但是對於像我這樣淺薄的人來說，多聽聽看看彆人的解讀，或許並不是一件壞事！等以後有機會去拜讀原著！
评分Nothing is more human than moral inconsistency.
