Description

**Number One Sunday Times Bestseller** In a world not quite like this one, Margaret Thatcher battles Tony Benn for power and Alan Turing has achieved an astonishing breakthrough in artificial intelligence. 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.

In this bravura performance, literary flair and cerebral sizzle winningly combine' Sunday Times
