As a lover of speculative fiction, John Marrs books are always great. I especially enjoy them in audiobook format, as his novels are often told from multiple perspectives. All of his stories are about the potential dangers of technology, at the hands of those with ill-intent. The topic of this book is self-driving cars. Several people have their autonomous cars hacked into, are threatened with death, and the hacker shares his takeover with the world. The book is a little gruesome/gory in parts, but nothing too crazy.
