From the Booker Prize winner and bestselling author of Atonement and Saturday —  ”a sharply intelligent novel of ideas” (The New York Times) that asks whether a machine can understand the human heart, or whether we are the ones who lack 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 - and soon a love triangle forms, which leads Charlie, Miranda and Adam to a profound moral dilemma. Can you design the perfect partner? What makes us human? Our outward deeds or our inner lives? Provocative and moving, Machines Like Me explores whether a machine can ever truly understand the human heart. 

"Machines Like Me is the result of a very special literary brain, the master of all he turns his writing to fantasying deep into our imagination, a novelist with the ability to turn complex science or strange events into gripping and elegant prose. Like the best of novelists, he knows how to penetrate right inside the makeup of a human being. Every character, however unusual, becomes believable in his deft hands... Every sentence is well-chosen and has perfect form. Every twist in the tale — there are many — is tuned taut for maximum effect... With this novel, Ian McEwan opens our eyes to a future for human beings when that is a real possibility — an insufficient and horrifying prospect."  -  Jonathan Power, New York Journal Of Books
