Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan - 2020

Condition: clean copy.
Content: Set in an uncanny alternative 1982 London - where Britain has lost the Falklands War, Margaret Thatcher battles Tony Benn for power, and Alan Turning achieves a breakthrough in artificial intelligence - the novel powerfully portrays two lovers who 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 generation of synthetic humans. With Miranda's assistance, he codesigns Adam's personality. The near-perfect human that emerges is beautiful, strong, and smart - and a love triangle soon forms.
