Sadly Frayn will always be tarred in my eyes having been subjected to Spies in GCSE(? A-level? It all blurs together) English.

Oh, well he wrote a lot of other stuff! My favorite would be 'The Tin Men' set in a research institute.

It has ethical robots, and universal headline language (UHL) among other ideas.

I was thinking about making the same comment.

It's such an awful book.
