This is a well written and thought provoking book by a master of his craft. Ian McEwan can see the future and is gently nudging us towards it. Ian knows that the Stepford Wives are a mere decade away, why else would Hedge Funds and Investors by planning to invest $33 Billion into sex-robots in 2020 ? …., this will change the world, human sexual partners will be inferior in every way. Sure some people will talk about emotion and the need for Human contact, but we have friends for that. This will particularly appeal to men, they can design their optimum partner, who will never get old, never get PMT, always cook and clean whilst never getting a headache. If everything goes wrong they will not loose their home or assets in a messy divorce and keep custody of their children, that they can order and conceive through surrogates. Women and Feminists will get their wishes and full equality, but will no longer be treated as sexual beings by many men …., more women will find themselves alone and living with their cats. I am sure that Ian McEwan will write further books on this genre and I am looking forward to his next instalment.Read full review
