She is intelligent, smart and beautiful and has been living with Dave her human partner now for several years. Together Dave and Louise live an idyllic life high in a penthouse apartment with views to the distant sea. He is the scientist responsible for developing in these androids the ability to move and speak like a human and to have a sense of self and an ability to learn. These characteristics together make androids indistinguishable from humans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Louise meets Alice, another android just like her. They develop a close and binding friendship as they both discover their combined capabilities. But their lives could not be more different. Louise lives a life of domesticity, study and leisure. But for Alice, life is sophisticated, intense and challenging as she travels the world directing a vast international corporation with a turnover in the billions of dollars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut as we learn more about these two androids, it becomes clear their meeting was not an accident after all. It seems there is a well-developed plan, secret and with far-reaching goals, that has quite different roles in mind for these two beautiful androids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is an attempt on the life of Alice that she manages to survive, and later also on Louise, with this one coming very close to being successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile Louise still enjoys her initial sexual role in her relationship with Dave, we learn that the close friendship between Alice and Louise eventually becomes sexual, with that bond becoming very strong. It appears this close bonding relationship is part of their makeup and critical to their eventual roles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAided by a now quite large support system of people, both androids are introduced into political roles. Both androids are successful at elections and become representatives for their electorates. They easily win their respective seats at the next national election. They become ministers in a government that is developing a new version of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe leap forward twenty years and see how this same Australian government is still in power and a detailed explanation is given of how it governs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, we learn how these androids can live forever, or at least long enough that most countries can be similarly ruled by an android pair and the world will be safe\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47773256679575,"sku":"9781764401203","price":1357.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781764401203.webp?v=1777978456","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/alice-and-louise-and-the-new-democracy-a-tale-of-two-androids-9781764401203","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
