   Is machines like me a good book?

   • 'Machines Like Me' ... is a thought-provoking, well-oiled literary machine. McEwan certainly has a flair for unusual points of view. Adam, like the baby-in-waiting who narrates Nutshell, is an extraordinarily smart, well-informed, and unorthodox character who catches his supposed caretakers off-guard with his perspicacity.

   Is machines like me based on a true story?

   Is machines like me a science fiction novel?

   • Having said all this, “Machines Like Me” is no more out-and-out science fiction than Kazuo Ishiguro’s elegiac novel about clones, “Never Let Me Go.” In fact, “Machines” is about what most literary novels are about: the godawful messiness of being human. Though his feelings for Miranda are genuine, Charlie is otherwise lazy and selfish.
