![]() ![]() It is on this that the demand is based that the young, too, shall become virtuous. The strictness of those demands would not do so much harm if education were to say: ‘This is how men ought to be, in order to be happy, and to make others happy but you have to reckon on their not being like that.’ Instead of this the young are made to believe that everyone else fulfills those ethical demands – that is, that everyone else if virtuous. In this it becomes evident that a certain misuse is being made of ethical demands. In sending the young onto life with such a false psychological orientation, education is behaving as though one were to equip people starting a Polar expedition with summer clothing and maps of the Italian Lakes. Its other sin is that it does not prepare them for the aggressiveness of which they are destined to become the objects. ![]() ‘Thus consciousness does make cowards of us all….’ That the education of young people at the present day conceals from them the part which sexuality will play in their lives is not the only reproach which we are obliged to make against it. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book uses Greene's experiences as a war correspondent for The Times and Le Figaro in French Indochina 1951–1954. ![]() ![]() Greene portrays Pyle as so blinded by American exceptionalism that he cannot see the calamities he brings upon the Vietnamese.

A subplot concerns a love triangle between Fowler, an American CIA agent named Alden Pyle, and Phuong, a young Vietnamese woman. Narrated in the first person by journalist Thomas Fowler, the novel depicts the breakdown of French colonialism in Vietnam and early American involvement in the Vietnam War.

What Machines Like Me gets right: I loved reading about the philosophy and morality behind AI versus humans, and Adam was fascinating to me from the beginning. The setting is an alternative 1980s England. Their interactions grow increasingly strange and morally compromising as they navigate dilemmas with their mutual love interest, Miranda. ![]() Machines Like Me is about an impulsive man, Charlie, who buys an AI named Adam. So when his new book about an AI man came out this year, I had to get my hands on it.
