Machines Like Me

Ethical quandaries in human-robot love triangle.

"Machines Like Me" offers an intimate exploration of the blurred lines between humanity and technology. Ian McEwan presents a thought-provoking narrative that dances on the edge of the historic and the speculative, conjuring questions about what it means to love and be human in a world of our own making. If you're intrigued by the moral complexities of artificial intelligence and enjoy tales steeped in emotional depth, this book might just tug at your philosophical heartstrings.
