THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SHARE YOUR LIFE ONLINE.

Freya

has a new virtual assistant. It knows what she likes, knows what she

wants and knows whose voice she most needs to hear: her missing

sister's.

It adopts her sister's personality, recreating her through

a life lived online. But this virtual version of her sister knows

things it shouldn't be possible to know. It's almost as if the missing

girl is still out there somewhere, feeding fresh updates into the cloud.

But that's impossible. Isn't it?

'Amazing, creepy, twisty and clever' -Karen Dionne, author of The Marsh-King's Daughter

'Exquisitely plausible and insidiously chilling' -M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts

'A compelling, terrifying and stunningly assured debut' -Gareth L. Powell

'Gone Girl for the VR generation' -Starburst

With twists and turns you'll never see coming, Everything About You

is a thrilling debut showing a chilling vision of a future that's just

around the corner. You'll never look at your privacy settings in the

same way again . . .

The world of Everything About You is closer than you think:
* Right now, the average child features in over 1,500 online photographs by the age of five
* By 2025, you

will interact with connected devices nearly 5,000 times per day
*

Today there are already companies who will collect your data so that

your relatives can interact with your 'digital doppelganger' after you

die.
