“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

No one talks about Anima Mutri anymore. Have you heard of her? No, I didn’t think so. She used to be an activist for social equality– women’s rights, anti-prejudice, that kind of thing. A friend of mine in the Abstainer movement met her once. Activists generally stick together, whether they’re boycotting d-mat or dumping shit […]
This sounds like one of those stories, but I swear it’s true. D-mat wasn’t always free. It cost money–remember money?–and it was rationed. If you used up your allowance at the beginning of the week, then you’d be stuck at home on the weekend, unable to go out with your friends. We were always looking […]
This story, although not overtly a Twinmaker story, was definitely written with this future in mind. It’s also my first from Daily SF, and my ninety-seventh in print. Here’s the opening: “Once upon a time, people used to fly about in Air-O-Planes. One day the people driving the Air-O-Plane fell asleep, and it crashed into […]
