Description
Machines Like Me is a thought-provoking novel set in an alternative 1980s London. In this world, Britain has lost the Falklands War, and the balance of power is shifting. Against this backdrop, a complex love triangle forms between three beings: Charlie, Miranda, and Adam. Charlie, a young man drifting through life, has bought Adam, one of the first synthetic humans, and is co-designing his personality with Miranda's help. As their lives become increasingly intertwined, they are faced with a profound moral dilemma: what makes us human? This novel poses fundamental questions about the nature of humanity and the consequences of playing with forces beyond our control.
