Book description
"A masterpiece ... the eminent fiction writer of our times" - Irvine WelshMulti-award-winning author Ewan Morrison’s 9th book is a gripping, high-stakes, high concept thriller, which fuses futurism with a powerful emotional core.Emma is a young genius Silicon Valley scientist who dies in a secret AI brain chip experiment. Her voice then haunts her father, helping 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."For Emma is a brilliant book that you will devour. Its compelling exploration of love, loss, and the haunting power of technology and morality makes it a must-read, delving into the highly relevant and intriguing intersection of humanity and advanced AI."Bruna Papandrea Producer - Gone Girl, Big Little Lies"For Emma is a haunting work, resonating and echoing for a long time after reading. Although concerned with AI, it is a human book, both grief soaked and love filled. In For Emma, Morrison has created a true masterpiece, one that will endure as a testament to his concern for our endangered humanity."Ali Millar“A beautiful, intense, challenging, scary and very, very timely book.”J.T Leroy / Laura Albert“For Emma is a brilliant book that you will devour. Its compelling exploration of love, loss, and the haunting power of technology and morality makes it a must-read, delving into the highly relevant and intriguing intersection of humanity and advanced AI.”Bruna Papandrea, producer of Gone Girl, Big Little Lies"Heartbreaking and harrowing, this is a suspenseful journey into a family's tortured past and its nightmarish present. Ewan Morrison's attention to the details of parental love and responsibility make this an unforgettable book."Atom Egoyan, director, The Sweet Hereafter“Ewan Morrison’s harrowing and beautiful new novel, For Emma, is an early warning system for the future. In that way, a worthy successor to Easy Travel to Other Planets, Neuromancer, and, of course, Brave New World.”David Shields, author Reality Hunger“Hold onto your seats for a cracking good ending, which I did not see coming, yet which I felt I should have seen coming – the best kind.”Lionel Shriver"Thrilling, unsettling, and fundamentally humane, For Emma is an explosively timely novel. A shifting metafiction of unreliable narration that knowingly calls to mind the gothic horror of Stevenson and Hogg, while relentlessly fixated on the anxieties of our current social age. A disturbing and unflinching glimpse into disillusionment and conspiracy, and a techno-dystopian warning call about the terrors less of the future, than of the now."Kieran Hurley – Playwright“Just as Ewan Morrison was ahead of the field with pandemic fiction and novels about ideological capture, so he is the pioneer of AI literature in Scotland. Terrifying, engrossing, masterful. The most inventive and original writer we have.”Alex Linklater – Journalist“For Emma is a gripping novel of a near future that is almost upon us, and that this dire warning seeks to prevent. Here's hoping.”Ken MacLeod“Harrowing, tragic and moving.”Ian Rankin
