Description
A routine collision involving an autonomous minivan fractures the Cassidy-Shaw family—and forces each member to confront what they knew, what they hid, and what they’re responsible for when technology blurs the line between choice and consequence. As seventeen-year-old Charlie’s future hangs in the balance during a tightening police investigation, his mother, a leading figure in AI, grows increasingly erratic, while his sisters retreat into secrecy and a powerful tech mogul’s sudden return threatens to expose a deeper betrayal. Set against a week of recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay, the novel builds suspense through intimate moral reckonings, asking how culpability is assigned in a world where nonhuman systems can act, learn, and influence outcomes. With Holsinger’s sharp, contemporary storytelling and morally charged character work, this propulsive family drama turns the ethics of artificial intelligence into a gripping, discussion-sparking reckoning about accountability, trust, and the human cost of innovation.
