Description

You’re riding in your self-driving car when suddenly the doors lock, the route changes and you have lost all control. Then, a mysterious voice tells you, “You are going to die.” Just as self-driving cars become the trusted, safer norm, eight people find themselves in this terrifying situation, including a faded TV star, a pregnant young woman, an abused wife fleeing her husband, an undocumented immigrant, a husband and wife, and a suicidal man. From cameras hidden in their cars, their panic is broadcast to millions of people around the world. But the public will show their true colors when they are asked, "Which of these people should we save?...And who should we kill first?"

Mr. Marrs is a demonic, evil mastermind, and I hope he never stops writing.As usual, I feel sick reading his books. They hit so close to reality and put a finger on so many societal problems that feel more dangerous and urgent now than ever.(I have to say I hated the whole romance plot — especially chapter 69. What the hell was that? Why? That was just unnecessary and stupid.)

I will read anything John Marrs publishes. His stories make me feel uncomfortable, scared, fascinated. I'm both scared to pick them up and incapable of putting them down. This particular story was much too close to reality for my own comfort.
