The Passengers by John Marrs
5.0
Author: John Marrs
Narrator: Clare Corbett et al
Started: December 2, 2024
Finished: December 3, 2024
Format: Audio
Genre: Thriller
Eight self-driving cars have been hacked and the passengers are told that they are going to die. At the same time, an inquest into a car accident has started. Through the use of hidden cameras in the cars, the passengers and their fates are broadcast all over the world. The hacker is going to make those at the inquest choose who lives while the others dies. As the fateful moment occurs, all eyes are on the vehicles to see their final demise.
This was a fantastic book! The premise of AI controlling the vehicles with no way of the driver taking control if something went wrong. Add onto that the possibility that someone could hack into the car's computer and cause the vehicle to crash. The story was well-told and propulsive. I kept wanting to know more about the passengers and what secrets they each hold. As each secret was revealed, you could see as public opinion turned against them. I can't wait to read more by Marrs as he is quickly becoming an auto-read author.
