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. 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 against the power to invent things beyond our control. 650 0 $a Androids $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Alternative histories (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Crossley, Steven, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 941 $a 7 945 $a cda 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012214.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210022017.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518023212.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204094657.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081046.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190628010140.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190507011313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=694AAA046CA011E9A39CB90697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
