The Passengers
by John Marrs
I absolutely loved this book, so full of drama and twists and turns. The story is based in the very near future where the UK government has now made driverless cars the law and AI is part of everyday culture. Libby is scheduled to sit as a member of the public on a highly biased traffic court jury when suddenly they find themselves the unwitting jury of another kind. A hacker has taken control of 8 driverless vehicles and has told the occupants they can expect to die in two and a half hours. Libby and her fellow jurors, along with the general public as the sixth jurors via social media are charged with deciding who will live and who will die. Failure to discharge their duty will result in the death of all the Passengers. A tale of morality, mob mentality and corruption for our modern times. This was a gripping read that I read at every spare minute I had and highly recommend. John Marrs had created complex characters, each as human and flawed as the next. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
