Happiness is Pearl's job. Using the revolutionary Apricity machine, every day she provides customers with personalised recommendations for their emotional well-being: from eating more tangerines to cutting off a finger, from getting a dog to getting a divorce.

She's good at her job, her office manager tells her. But Pearl is starting to wonder whether it’s even possible to measure an emotion.

Pearl's teenage son, Rhett, is a sensitive boy who has forged an unconventional path through adolescence. He seems somehow to find greater contentment in being unhappy. If only Pearl could persuade him to take the Apricity test...but what if she doesn’t like what she finds?

Tell the Machine Goodnight is a wry, prescient and hilarious debut. For fans of Jennifer Egan and Ruth Ozeki, it is both a cautionary tale about the advance of technology and a scalpel-sharp depiction of the darkest depths of the human psyche.

Arvustused

A master class in not losing sight of the human element the kind of story that in the subtlest of ways can instruct us, and nourish us, and make us want to live and love a little better Matt Haig, New York Times Book Review



Between seasons of Black Mirror, look to Katie Williams' debut novel Refinery29



Sharp and moving Publishers Weekly



Philosophical, funny, cleverly structured, unpredictable the world-building is creative and completely convincing Gabrielle Zevin



My prescription for happiness is: "Sit still, read a book that can't be classified by genre, and tell everyone." I'm telling you, Katie Williams delivers. TELL THE MACHINE GOODNIGHT is part science fiction, part love story, part feminist manifesto. I never knew what was going to happen and, when I found out, I was always delighted Helen Ellis, New York Times bestselling author of AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE



I loved Katie Williams's debut novel Tell the Machine Goodnight. So much that I read it twice It is sci-fi in its most perfect expression no robots, no explosions, no car chases. Reading it is like having a lucid dream of six years from next week, filled with people you don't know, but will NPR



How much control do we have over our own happinessand would we be better off if we had the ability to nudge it just a little more? TELL THE MACHINE GOODNIGHT is a captivating, thought-provoking and utterly charming novel about the elusive nature of happiness and the limits of both technology and our own self-knowledge Carolyn Parkhurst, author of HARMONY and THE DOGS OF BABEL



Filled with extraordinary writing, wish-they-existed characters, and unexpected narrative turns, TELL THE MACHINE GOODNIGHT will delight your mind and heart Courtney Maum, author of TOUCH and I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN HERE WITHOUT YOU
