Virtual Book Discussion on Machines Like Me

Perrot Library & The Greenwich Pen Women
present Our First-Ever Zoom Book Discussion
on Machines Like Me, by Ian McEwan
Facilitated by Diane Tunick Morello of Greenwich Pen Women
Monday, May 4th, 2020 at 7 PM on Zoom

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
