Not human. Not machine. A being that's eerily prescient and hungry for revenge... Henry, a brilliant but agoraphobic robotics engineer, has achieved the crowning discovery of his career: he's created an artificially intelligent consciousness. He names the half-formed robot William and spends most of his hours studying it in his attic laboratory. But all is not right with William. The A.I. is filled with jealousy for humanity, for its capacity to love and create life. Henry is uneasy at first, then terrified when William develops an unsettling fixation on Henry's pregnant wife Lily. Left with no other choice, he is forced to terminate the A.I, but somehow William's consciousness survives. Henry and his wife wired their home to be the smartest of smart homes, a decision that may prove fatal since a vengeful William has now seized control of the house and its inhabitants. William is a lean, mean genre-bending novel that shifts seamlessly from psychological thriller and cyber-noir to haunted house horror and locked-box mystery. From the moment we meet Henry to the novel's surprising end, William will have readers on the edge of their seats, constantly asking themselves just what is going on? 'If reading with one hand over your mouth is your thing, this is the book for you' Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us 'From its first page all the way to its jaw-dropping ending, William had me hooked' Nick Cutter, author of The Troop and The Deep
