书籍介绍
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.
Machines Like Me occurs in an alternative 1980s London. 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 of the power to invent things beyond our control.
用户评论
R4 read by Anton Lesser.
Our leaves are falling.
Come spring we will renew,
But you, alas, fall once.
Adam具有人的特征 能说会道 会打扮会作诗会表达爱 还会赚钱 但也有非人的时刻 比如他不会隐藏真相 不会为了一己私利掩埋罪恶 可能也是一代人对完美期许的理想人物 赚取更多的钱是为了让Charlie快乐 结果事与愿违 真实人类的贪婪最终导致他的毁灭 弃儿Mark对于他们生活的参与 唤起了Charlie对新生命到来的思考 映衬了他应该对A负责 也验证了图灵的说法 A或许也应该被当人一样尊重 机器与人各自都有不完美
我就喜欢这种目光短浅人士角度的安卓人故事23333
前半本极好，后半本略逊，但还是麦克尤恩。
读完好失望，尤其前半本书，这种日常的科幻作品真的容易写得非常无聊。
最不喜欢的一本伊恩麦克尤恩
我读过McEwan第二差劲的作品吧，第一差劲是Solar，现在还没读完。男女主角都很生硬，语言行为毫无情理和逻辑，反而Adam很真实，闪耀着人性光辉？？？
作为粉丝，居然是第一次看老麦的英文原版。有点无聊，没有什么精彩的反转，更像是严肃的AI探讨。
