"Not since Michael Crichton entertained and thrilled readers with science-driven novels like Sphere and Jurassic Park has there been anything this frightfully fun." - LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED REVIEW)
"A hugely entertaining twist on a very unexpected sort of nightmare scenario--a surprising tale of betrayal, guilt, and redemption." - CHRIS PAVONE, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR, TWO NIGHT IN LISBON
“An absolute belter of a novel that plays with our fears of technologies in a story that will keep you turning the pages right up to the end. A timely, ticking clock thriller with unforgettable characters and psychological twists and turns you won’t see coming.” — SARAH PINBOROUGH, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR, BEHIND HER EYES
“I tore through this gripping tale, not because it predicts the frightening future of AI with the urgency of a clock about to strike midnight, but rather in Paul Bradley Carr’s talented hands The Confessions reminds us what it means to be achingly human.” — STEVEN ROWLEY, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR, LILY AND THE OCTOPUS AND THE GUNCLE
“Full of twists, turns, and truth. With big ideas, sharp writing, and rich characters, I must confess… I loved this thrill ride.” — BYRON LANE, AUTHOR OF A STAR IS BORED AND BIG GAY WEDDING
“A brilliant and timely thriller about a world dominated by AI. Should be required reading for every American.”— ROGER MCNAMEE, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ZUCKED (AND FORMER MENTOR TO MARK ZUCKERBERG)
