The Passengers- John Marrs- Psychological thriller

This is set in the future and about driverless cars. Can I just say that if we ever get there

in my life time- I won’t be entering one unless I have a sledgehammer about my person

or maybe even ever !! Thanks John!

Eight  people are in their cars which have been hacked- something the government

promised was impossible. All have been told that they are heading to a destination

where they will die. Libby is on a jury which decides in the case of any fatalities whether

the car or passengers are to blame when they get a call about the hijacked cars. She sees

someone in one of the cars that she met six months before and has been doing her utmost

to find him. Now she has found him however he is heading towards his death and there is

very little she can do about it. Or is there? This is a tense read. We soon learn why each

of the people have been chosen to be the “passengers” and each of the jury must chose

one they wish to vote for along with the general public via social media. The hacker now

has control of most things. OMG!!  A dystopian state where the public think they can

think for themselves but in reality pretty much everything is controlled by the state and

there are no secrets. Argh! An interesting story, and as ever from John a very clever

plot. One to blow your mind and make you think what the world could become.

Psychology with that extra oomph!
