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.
某天在听经济学人的podcast,那期正好请了Ian McEwan来谈他的新书。作为他的粉丝,不得不把书找来。书翻完后,确实补充了些对于AI的延伸想象。从一直以来知道些皮毛的algorithm,machine learning,到近两年对于机器人进入就业市场的对其征税的热议话题,AI正在进入我们的视野,但他们是否有conscious,这部分还是空白。我想,就像曾经说学会使用工具是人和动物的区别那般,是否有consciousness是否会是人和AI的区别呢?
评分一定是我的欣赏水平不够,否则我怎么会觉得文坛大师的这本小说不好看呢??期待了好几个月的小说,看了不到20%准备放弃了。一段接一段的抒情、自述。故事情节发展缓慢,读起来昏昏欲睡,绝对称不上page turner。人物塑造像是隔着磨砂玻璃观察,不鲜明很模糊。虽然是科幻小说,但是设定在平行宇宙的80年代英国,图灵没死,科学发展水平和现在几乎同等,并没有什么新意。
评分改改又是一部美剧了。
评分一个设计为良善正直的机器人如何在一万种灰的人类世界里生存而不最后疯掉。McEvan最擅长描写这种挣扎与两难困境。
评分It’s about machines like me and people like you and our future together...the sadness that’s to come. 还是很好看的,引起了很多思考,有几条悬念,虽然最后没有按照想象的风格发展。
