ABOUT THE BOOK
LLIAM, what do I want for dinner?
LLIAM, how can I get a better job?
LLIAM, should I kill my husband?
AI bot LLIAM powers society – but today, he went offline. Shops shut, planes were grounded, and Kaitlan Goss, CEO of LLIAM’s parent company, has to fix it.
Then letters from LLIAM arrive: identical white envelopes, confessing people’s darkest secrets to their loved ones.
Kaitlan races to find Maud Brooks, the only person who can bring LLIAM back online and stem the tide of societal breakdown. But Maud received a letter, too – about Kaitlan…
LLIAM, how do I save the world?
‘Such a bloody scary (yet believable) story! A whip smart, high-concept, pulse-pounding thriller that fans of Blake Crouch and Dave Eggers will devour.’ JOHN MARRS
‘A terrific read, fast paced, gripping, with some great characters and dealing with issues that are only going to get more and more important for humanity. Really enjoyed it!’ AJAY CHOWDHURY
‘An absolute belter of a novel that plays with our fears of technologies in a story that will keep you turning the pages right up to the end.’ SARAH PINBOROUGH
