Man builds robot, robot is evil, chaos ensues…but what is really going on here?

This book drew me in from page one and sent me spiraling on a journey I had no idea would end the way it did! I’m rarely completely caught off guard and Mason Coile executed the twist to this “cyber-noir” AI horror perfectly.

Henry is an agoraphobic engineering genius who created an artificial intelligence in his attic lab. His pregnant wife Lily has reservations about this new creation. Lily and Henry haven’t slept in the same room in awhile and Henry is desperate to try to keep their family together.

When Lily invites some former colleagues over for brunch, things quickly go south. One person goes missing, the house appears alive, and suddenly they are locked inside with something malevolent.

WILLIAM is a quick-paced read that will leave you wondering: just how much should we trust artificial intelligence?
