Jenny Williams: House of Liars, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Six writers compete for a million-dollar prize. One of them is an AI.

A literary psychological thriller about the twisty territories of artistic ambition, motherhood, desire, and machines that know us better than we know ourselves.

When struggling mother and failed novelist Anna Olin is invited to an exclusive residency on a remote island, it feels like an opportunity for artistic redemption. Alongside five other authors, including an old flame whose spark still smolders, she must finish her novel to compete for a million-dollar publishing contract. The catch? One of the writers is an AI.

Isolated and under pressure, Anna's grasp on reality loosens as alliances form fast, seduction beckons, and secrets press closer to the surface, including Anna's own. When she starts receiving cryptic notes and the AI develops frightening new behaviors, Anna must decide what-and who-she's willing to risk if she is to fulfill the darkest fantasies she can't speak aloud, even to herself.

Written by a former big tech AI ethics insider, House of Liars is an unflinching portrayal of the seductiveness of AI as it infiltrates our most intimate spaces, centering the struggles of modern motherhood against the backdrop of a publishing industry being remade by AI.
