Machines Like Me (9781787331679)



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.

Jesus for President : Kompromisslose Experimente in Sachen Politik (9783765514449)

"Die politische Fantasie von Christen hervorlocken" so beschreiben die Autoren das Ziel dieses Buches. Jenseits von Parteipolitik und Präsidentschaftswahlkämpfen malen Claiborne und Haw das Bild einer Kirche vor Augen, die es gelernt hat, nach anderen Spielregeln zu leben als denen, die die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Credos der Gesellschaft vorgeben. Jesus ruft seine Nachfolger auf, mitten in der Welt anders zu leben - als "Herausgerufene", die mit Glauben, Hoffnung, Liebe und Fantasie den Regeln des Reiches Gottes folgen. Theologie und Einblicke in die Lebenspraxis früherer und heutiger "Heiliger" gehen eine aufrüttelnde, höchst unterhaltsame und inspirierende Verbindung ein. Jesus for President bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die Verflechtungen von Kirche und Macht und regt dazu an, kreativ und kritisch die eigene Glaubenspraxis an den Maßstäben Jesu neu auszurichten.
