Twinmaker

“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

“Artistic License”

Here’s another dark urban myth from the Twinmaker universe. You can hear me read it here. “Artistic License” Once upon a time, people used to steal things. I know. Crazy, isn’t it? Before everything was backed up in the Air, anything lost or broken or stolen couldn’t be made again from scratch in a fabber, […]

“Collision”

This story is set in the Twinmaker universe. I say “story”, but it’s really intended as a reading, or some kind of spooky performance art, which you’ll hear below if you play the first audio clip. Below that is the text. I created it by breaking the text into nineteen fragments, each of which I […]

Twinmaker at the ABDAs

I’m stoked that Astred Hicks’ design work for the Twinmaker series is up for an Australian Book Design Award. Greatly deserved! I love these covers, and also the abandoned “d-mat cat” version from her blog that I’ve posted before: Best of luck to Astred and everyone at Allen & Unwin. They’ve worked so hard on […]
