• Klara and The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.

  Klara and the sun by Kazuo Ishiguro is that rare thing: an accessible best seller with limitless philosophical depth. Our protagonist (a characteristic Ishiguro unreliable narrator) is a made as companion for children and longs to be near the sun at the start of the novel. The most artifical thing longing for the most natural. This begins as ostensibly a novel about a robot/AI who longs to be human.

• Wolf Hall

  Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel (2009) is the great novel of the 21st Century so far (and the trilogy just gets better and better). It follows the rise of Thomas Cromwell from blacksmith's boy to Henry VIII's right hand man in the cutthroat world of Tudor Britain.
