2048

Nick Bailey

Thrilling and chilling in equal measure, this genre-busting debut combines suspense, psychological drama and masterly storytelling to immerse you in a world that may be closer than we think: one where artificial intelligence controls not just what we see and hear, but what we think and feel. A subtle homage to Orwell's dystopian classic, the story pursues two ingeniously interlocking paths: the first follows Verity, a well-meaning but naive British academic as she's lured down a path of big-tech corruption, while the second takes us 25 years into the future to witness the nightmarish consequences of her work – not least for the people she loves.
