The Confessions by Paul Bradley Carr

LLIAM, what do I want for dinner? LLIAM, how can I get a better job? LLIAM, should I kill my husband? AI bot LLIAM powers society - but today, he went offline. Shops shut, planes were grounded, and Kaitlan Goss, CEO of LLIAM's parent company, has to fix it. Then letters from LLIAM arrive: identical white envelopes, confessing people's darkest secrets to their loved ones. Kaitlan races to find Maud Brooks, the only person who can bring LLIAM back online and stem the tide of societal breakdown. But Maud received a letter, too - about Kaitlan. LLIAM, how do I save the world? 'An absolute belter.' Sarah Pinborough 'Clever, fast-paced, and deeply unsettling.' Guy Morpuss, author of Five Minds
