“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

I count myself extraordinarily blessed to have had such good reviews of Twinmaker. Huge thanks to everyone who read the book and took the time to spread the word. That’s the best Christmas present of all! (The reviews, not the book – although the book would make a pretty good present, I reckon. <g>) Sara […]
Visual vandalisations by Heidi Berthiaume, thumbnail by Martin Livings. I have excellent friends. Once upon a time, people believed in a fat old man who flew around the world on Christmas Eve, delivering wonderful presents to all the good kids and lumps of coal to all the bad. That was before the Water Wars, when […]
I’m obsessed with d-mat. (Does it show?) As well as writing Twinmaker and all the related short stories and urban myths and stuff–having huge fun doing it too, let me tell you–I was working on a PhD examining the history of matter transmitters, with a view to making other people obsessed with them too. Or […]
