"A fast-paced, unsettling thriller that explores the dark side of self-driving technology."
A woman finds herself serving on a jury tasked with deciding whether responsibility for a fatal crash lies with a deceased passenger or the autonomous car itself. While distracted by thoughts of the seemingly perfect man she met on a night out, events escalate dramatically when eight people in self-driving cars are taken hostage by hackers determined to expose these vehicles as far from the infallible, ultra-safe inventions they’re claimed to be.
The public is forced to vote on which of the eight passengers deserves to live, based on only fragments of information, an impossible moral dilemma that becomes intensely personal when the woman realises one of the passengers is the man she’s been fantasising about.
As secrets emerge and truths are manipulated, the novel asks an unsettling question: when both people and technology are hiding shocking truths, who can really be trusted?
