LLIAM, which groceries should I buy? LLIAM, should I apply for that promotion? LLIAM, should I kill my wife?

'An absolute belter.' Sarah Pinborough

LLIAM's AI-generated answers power society - but today, he went offline. Stocks fell, stores shuttered, planes were grounded. And Kaitlan Goss, CEO of LLIAM's parent company StoicAI, has to fix it.

Then the letters arrive: identical white envelopes on every continent, containing people's darkest secrets - affairs, family secrets, even murders. As people worldwide begin to confront their loved ones' worst transgressions, Kaitlan races to find Maud Brookes, the ex-nun who taught LLIAM what it means to be human. Only Maud can bring LLIAM back online, and stem the tide of societal breakdown.

But Maud doesn't want to be found. She received a confession letter, too - about Kaitlan. Now, as society begins to collapse into chaos, the two women are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse, while the whole world teeters on the brink.

LLIAM, how do I save the world?

'Brilliant and timely . . . Should be required reading.' Roger McNamee, author of Zucked and former mentor to Mark Zuckerberg 'There is no keener observer of Silicon Valley sociopaths than Paul Bradley Carr.' Yasha Levine author of Surveillance Valley PRAISE FOR PAUL BRADLEY CARR 'For a cautionary tale, everyone cites Paul Bradley Carr.' Sunday Times 'Uproarious and brilliant.' Wired 'One of the feistiest writers on the beat.' Guardian
