“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

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

I am very excited to announce that Twinmaker is part of the HarperCollins Humble Bookperk Bundle that went live today. Not only that, but it’s the only YA title in a stellar spread that includes books by such luminaries as Neil Gaiman, Lois McMaster Bujold, Joe Nassise, and many others. This is such an incredible […]
People sometimes ask me how our world turned into Clair’s world. The answer is: I don’t have an answer that will hold up to close scrutiny. As David Brin once said, “Anyone who tries to predict the future is inevitably a fool”, so I’m not going to stick my neck out too far. It should […]
