May 2019: Machines Like Us by Ian McEwan

It's not often that we choose a book that is still only in hardback, but we were in agreement that a new McEwan is always a treat - and so it proved to be. Though some of the tropes were familiar, this pushed the consideration of what it means to be human, and moral, even further than he has done before - and I loved the idea of an alternative speculative representation of Turing.

Next month's book is Circe by Madeline Miller, and the meeting is scheduled for the 25th June in Horsham.
