penleguin 's review for:

The Passengers by John Marrs

4.0

---

3.5 stars. A deadly, fast-paced thriller following eight passengers trapped in self-driving cars that have been hacked to collide with each other. The hacker forces a jury (and the public) to decide who lives and who dies. Lots of twists and turns, and dives into AI and morality. *Be sure to read content warnings before picking up this book!* I didn’t and the scenes regarding pedophilia hit me like a truck and I physically gagged. Not my typical fare, but certainly attention-grabbing, and the content can make for some deep discussion questions for book clubs.

Tw: suicide, pedophilia, sexual abuse
