Artificial Selection: A Near-Future Science Fiction Mystery Novel

An AI, an investigator, and a geneticist walk into a library...

It’s the year 2101, and half of England is underwater, but the horrors of the Melt are becoming a distant memory thanks to ArkTech, the company that saved the world.

The ArkTech Territory is the only home Charlotte Vance has ever known, so when Ben, the company’s curious AI, starts asking awkward questions about human behaviour, she's only too happy to help.

But as she investigates the mystery of why a geneticist is stealing pages from library books, Charlotte is forced to confront unsettling truths about her past, and about the company she’s always trusted.

The deeper she digs, the more she realises her discoveries could threaten everything she holds dear. Charlotte must make a choice – and the wrong decision could cost her everything.

What readers are saying...

"Funny. Suspenseful. Thought-provoking."

"A good, fun, easy read that gives you something to think about."

"A great sci-fi book with a flawed protagonist that you can really root for. It’s written in a pacy and breezy style that keeps you turning the page. It has a great sense of humour, without being ‘comic’. It’s about a future where a lot has gone wrong, but where there is optimism about the future. It has a cracking mystery at its centre too."
