“Twinmaker took my breath away. A triumph of thrilling action and vivid
imagination.”-Alison Goodman, author of EON and EONA
“A mind-blowing adventure about what it means to be human, and what it means
to find ourselves.”-Scott Westerfeld, author of UGLIES and LEVIATHAN
“A gripping YA thriller, coming of age and love story that transports the
reader to a future that looks a whole lot better than it really is …
Highly Recommended.”-Garth Nix, author of SABRIEL
“Twinmaker asks smart questions without easy answers, and presents a future
so simultaneously wonderful and terrible you can only believe in it–and
maybe wish you could be there, too. A thrilling, existential head trip
worthy of my favorite anime, I couldn’t stop reading this book. More
importantly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.”-Alaya Dawn Johnson, author
of THE SUMMER PRINCE
“In a time when every second book seems to be a dour dystopia TWINMAKER is a
breath of fresh air. Not just because it’s hugely fun, or because it’s so
smart, but because behind its vision of a world in which distance has been
eliminated by matter transportation lies a book urgently engaged with the
ways social media and technology are transforming us, and unafraid of their
possibilities. I loved it.”
“Williams marries accessibly explored moral ramifications of future
technologies-a hallmark of mature science fiction-with a strong, capable
teen heroine and heart-pounding action” -KIRKUS

Thanks to Audris of YA Bookmark for asking me about my hypothetical Twinmaker dream cast (fingers crossed there will be a film one day!) and for offering a giveaway. Get in quick, before they’re all gone! PS. The site crashed today because so many people were accessing it. If you were at all inconvenienced, I […]
It’s been a great day. Thanks to everyone who tweeted, blogged, spread the word. There’s such a great buzz. And meanwhile the blog tour continues: Some things in Twinmaker are true. Here’s a snap of the book in its natural habitat, a Barnes & Noble in Brooklyn. That’s what it’s all about: getting it into […]
The world’s first matter transmitter story was published in 1877. It was written by an amazing guy, Edward Page Mitchell, who was also the first to write about time machines, intelligent computers, cryogenics, mutants, cyborgs, and invisibility, beating not just H. G. Wells to at least two of those tropes but everyone else as well. […]
This Twinmaker-related story is now available at Lightspeed, with a bonus interview. The beautiful artwork is by Galen Dara. ## The first time it occurred to me that [my mother] had a problem, she was still in the old house in Texas and I was working in Zambia. I visited her on Thursdays for dinner. […]
