Machines Like Me

From the author of contemporary British prose, famous for his novels «Amsterdam», «Atonement», «Enduring Love» and many others, Booker Prize winner Ian McEwan. Intellectual prose in every sense. Against the backdrop of the political situation in England, when it was time for Margaret Thatcher to step down as Prime Minister, and in science Alan Turing made a breakthrough in the creation of artificial intelligence, the story of the main characters unfolds.
Lost loser Charlie falls in love with Miranda — a girl who has a great secret in her past. When Charlie suddenly comes into money, he immediately buys Adam — one of the first androids. Together with Miranda, they create a personality for Adam. The new being — almost a perfect human. And soon the trio forms a love triangle.
The author poses the most important questions in the novel: what makes us human? What determines our actions and inner world? Can a machine understand the human heart?
Machines like Adam — this is our not-so-distant future. Are we ready to perceive an inanimate machine as a sentient being?
How perfect are androids, and how imperfect are we, sometimes not understanding ourselves.
