Inhaltsangabe

A Silicon Valley prodigy dies in a secret AI brain chip experiment.Her voice haunts her father and helps him plan the killing of the Big Tech CEO who destroyed her.For Emma is a ghost-in-the machine tale of bereavement and of a unique and conflicted love between a daughter and her father.


“A masterpiece….For Emma is an extraordinary novel; a treatise of love and loss, the terror of the modern world and the sprung, high-tech trap humanity has set for itself. This would be more than enough: awe inspiringly, it’s also a page-turning thriller, and it confirms its author as the eminent fiction writer of our times.”

Irvine Welsh


“Absolutely wonderful…riveting, sad, mad and terrifying.”

Terry Gilliam


“For Emma is as disturbing as it is convincing, a tale of love and guilt and grief, and an apt tract for our chaotic times.”

John Banville


“This book scared me like no horror story ever has, because its monster is right in front of us, right now, eating us slowly while we cheer.”

Isaac Marion, author Warm Bodies


“Harrowing, tragic and moving.”

Ian Rankin


“A devastatingly accomplished and cinema-literate nightmare of culture-induced and morally bereft psychotic breakdown: the state in which we are all now registered, observed and disenfranchised. The poetry of paranoia, here, is so compelling, that we are forced to conclude that the very act of tale-telling, authorship, is being dictated by a terrifying otherness. Now read on. Please.”

Iain Sinclair, writer, filmmaker


“For Emma is an astonishing, bold novel… heart-rending, but also complex, visceral and angry… unlike anything I have read before – a sympathetic, yet abject account of violence. Morrison’s eyes are on the horizon. This is the novel for our times, a mordant, coruscating yet exhilarating account of where we will be, sooner than we think.”

Nicholas Blincoe
