Ian McEwan's novel reimagines life and times in the 1980s.

Against a backdrop of Britain's loss of the Falkland Islands and mounting social unrest, Charlie invites Adam into his modest London home and introduces him to Miranda, a resident upstairs.

Adam is a synthetic human and both neighbours decide to 'shape' his personality for everyday use. Others are doing it too, with an Adam or with an Eve.

Omnibus of the first five of ten parts abridged by Penny Leicester.

Read by Anton Lesser.

Producer: Duncan Minshull.

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in May 2019.
