Charlie, Miranda, and Adam are in a love triangle. But Adam is not human, he is a synthetic android whose personality has been co-designed by the couple. Set in an alternative 1980s London, Machines Like Me explores the depths of what makes us human through a subversive and provocative plot, warning the reader of the dangers of creating things beyond our control.
