![]() ![]() Many literary novels claim to be exploring ‘what it is to be human’. Ian McEwan has always been a generous writer to his readers, his novels bulging with big ideas and rich story-telling… hard not to admire the sheer scale of McEwan’s ambition. The novel is as honed and well constructed as one would expect from McEwan… a sleek and streamlined work by a master technician. Ian McEwan's latest novel, Machines Like Me, is a topsy-turvy tour de force. McEwan gives the whole subject of artificial intelligence a thorough and fascinating examination… a rich and thought-provoking read. In, McEwan has taken his creativity into a subversive alternative 1980s London… the young couple at the centre of McEwan’s story find out the danger in inventing things beyond our control. McEwan returns with another ambitious, high-concept work.
