“Twinmaker took my breath away. A triumph of thrilling action and vivid
imagination.”-Alison Goodman, author of EON and EONA
“A mind-blowing adventure about what it means to be human, and what it means
to find ourselves.”-Scott Westerfeld, author of UGLIES and LEVIATHAN
“A gripping YA thriller, coming of age and love story that transports the
reader to a future that looks a whole lot better than it really is …
Highly Recommended.”-Garth Nix, author of SABRIEL
“Twinmaker asks smart questions without easy answers, and presents a future
so simultaneously wonderful and terrible you can only believe in it–and
maybe wish you could be there, too. A thrilling, existential head trip
worthy of my favorite anime, I couldn’t stop reading this book. More
importantly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”-Alaya Dawn Johnson, author
of THE SUMMER PRINCE
“In a time when every second book seems to be a dour dystopia TWINMAKER is a

eliminated by matter transportation lies a book urgently engaged with the
ways social media and technology are transforming us, and unafraid of their
possibilities. I loved it.”
“Williams marries accessibly explored moral ramifications of future
technologies-a hallmark of mature science fiction-with a strong, capable
teen heroine and heart-pounding action” -KIRKUS
First up, let me make a full and proper disclosure, plus an apology to the Star Trek fans. I didn’t watch your show when I was growing up. That’s not to say it isn’t cool. It’s just that I lived in country towns until I was a teenager, and TV stations were limited to just […]
Apologies for the combined post! Just got back in from the US so have missed a couple of days’ worth of action on the Twinmaker front. YALLFest was awesome and I’ve been really excited by the feedback from people who bought the book there. In the meantime I’ve been editing Crashland at every available opportunity. […]
“Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures–in this century as in others our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing [people] together.” Quotes and misquotes play an important role in Twinmaker, riffing on the idea of words as well as people not surviving transmission intact. (I talked […]
I love this review from Maddie, one of Electric Monkey’s shortlisted reviewers. She really enjoyed the book and had a lot of thoughtful things to say about. It wasn’t the kind of book she would normally read, so it means a lot that she liked it so much. I’m particular grateful for the tagline she’s […]
