“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

Some have been published in the leading magazines of the day. Some have won or been nominated for awards. Some came out in my newsletter or as guest […]
Daily SF has been such a good home for my flash fiction this year. In 2017 they published “The Winter Gardener” (inspired by my visit to Casey research station in Antarctica and The Thing),“Uber” (about parallel worlds and social justice), and “A Better Place” (based on a dream I had about the death of my […]
Glimpse one: A pedestrian-only highway in Seoul covered with trees Glimpse two: “Pieces of Me” by Hope Terrell at Daily SF Between the greening of our ugly roads thanks to the superseding of cars and being lost in space, I know which future I’d choose!
I’ve decided to take a short break from this blog in order to concentrate more fully on several new projects – one with Garth Nix, one about anxiety and lightning, another about music and deafness, and another set in Antarctica, so there’s plenty to get on with. It’s not my plan to leave the Twinmaker […]

Launched in Brisbane in fine style, it is one of the most beautiful artefacts I’ve seen for a long time. I’m honoured to be […]
