“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
breath of fresh air. Not just because it’s hugely fun, or because it’s so
smart, but because behind its vision of a world in which distance has been
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

When Jonathan Strahan asks you to write a story, you write him a story. So that’s what I did. The theme of his new anthology (Drowned Worlds) was pretty broad, and it mapped right onto something I’d been pondering for a while. (All my Twinmaker stories this year are ones I’ve given a lot of […]

“Tyranny of Distance” is one of my favourite Twinmaker stories, inspired by the real story of a man who was killed while crossing America on foot for charity. It also references the town my mother’s family came from (one of my favourite places in the universe) and is dedicated to the memory of an old […]
