Immerse yourself in 'Machines Like Me', a thought-provoking novel by Ian McEwan, set in an alternate 1980s London where history has taken a different turn; the Falklands War was lost, Alan Turing's advancements in AI are a reality, and the political landscape is deeply altered. Enter Charlie, an aimless young man who falls in love with Miranda, a student with a secret past. With unexpected fortune, Charlie invests in Adam, one of the first synthetic humans. As they co-design Adam's personality, a complex love triangle emerges, challenging their perceptions of love, morality, and humanity itself. McEwan crafts a narrative that explores the boundaries between man and machine, posing timeless ethical questions in a world that feels unnervingly familiar yet intriguingly different.
