McEwan rewrites the history of technology, and innumerable other things, to make an A.I. McEwan bestows on Turing the career, and knighthood, he deserved. As the novel progresses, Adam rebels in various ways, like any automaton wanting a little autonomy. It turns out that, before meeting Charlie, Miranda orchestrated an astounding campaign of vengeance against … someone. Again: This is an Ian McEwan novel.
