Perrot Library and The Greenwich Pen Women present their first-ever Virtual Book Discussion on ‘Machines Like Me’, by Ian McEwan, on Monday, May 4 at 7 p.m., via Zoom. The discussion will be facilitated by Diane Tunick Morello, of Greenwich Pen Women.
Meet Adam. Out of the box he is an artificially intelligent man, bought for amusement by Charlie, a drifter, and used as a lure for Charlie’s crush, Miranda, a liar. Adam grows from machine infancy to intellectual superiority as he ingests research, information and theories of business, economies and global history. What he does not understand – what becomes the crux of his new life – are the emotional entanglements, irrational thinking and ethical shortcuts that define human beings.
Free registration on Zoom is required for participation. Machines Like Me is available as an e-book on OverDrive and as an e-audiobook on RBdigital.
