"A masterpiece ... the eminent fiction writer of our times" - Irvine Welsh
“Ewan Morrison’s harrowing and beautiful new novel, For Emma, is an early warning system for the future. A worthy successor to Easy Travel to Other Planets, Neuromancer, and, of course, Brave New World.” - David Shields, Reality Hunger
Multi-award-winning author Ewan Morrison’s 9th book is a gripping, high-stakes, high concept thriller, which fuses futurism with a powerful emotional core.
Emma is a young genius Silicon Valley scientist who dies in a secret AI brain chip experiment. Her voice then haunts her father, helping him plan the killing of the Big Tech CEO who destroyed her.
For Emma is a ghost-in-the machine tale of bereavement and of a unique and conflicted love between a daughter and her father.
"Heartbreaking and harrowing, this is a suspenseful journey into a family's tortured past and its nightmarish present. Ewan Morrison's attention to the details of parental love and responsibility make this an unforgettable book."
Atom Egoyan
"For Emma is a brilliant book that you will devour. Its compelling exploration of love, loss, and the haunting power of technology and morality makes it a must-read, delving into the highly relevant and intriguing intersection of humanity and advanced AI."
Bruna Papandrea Producer - Gone Girl, Big Little Lies
"For Emma is a haunting work, resonating and echoing for a long time after reading. Although concerned with AI, it is a human book, both grief soaked and love filled. In For Emma, Morrison has created a true masterpiece, one that will endure as a testament to his concern for our endangered humanity."
