Synopsis
When you wake up without your memories, who can you really trust?
Pioneering scientist Iris Henderson chose to be her own first test-subject for an experimental therapy, placing a piece of technology into her brain. At least, this is what everyone tells her. Trouble is, Iris is now without her memories so she doesn’t know what the therapy is or why she would ever decide to volunteer for it.
Everyone warns her to leave it alone, but Iris doesn’t know who to trust. As she scratches beneath the surface of her seemingly happy marriage and successful career, a catastrophic chain of events is set in motion. Secrets will be revealed that have the capacity to destroy her whole life, but Iris can’t stop digging.
Review
This is a fascinating debut examining the role of AI in modern life and the potential for corruption by those who wield its power. It’s propulsive, cleverly spun and the ominous atmosphere permeates the pages for a thrilling, unputdownable read.
The story unfolds through Iris’s eyes, she awakes with no memories making her the perfect unreliable narrator heightening the tension as the reader tries to decipher what’s real. We search for answers right alongside Iris! The countdown element really adds to the urgency, we can feel the time slipping away – the panic and desperation are tangible as the complex threads unravel. I could not stop turning the pages!
Iris doesn’t know who she can trust – is Marcus hiding something? What are the doctor’s motives? What do you do when you can’t even trust your own mind? It’s a gripping and questioning read as Iris navigates these unpredictable waters while working through a whirlwind of intense emotions and revelations.
The Glass Woman skilfully explores identity, autonomy, morality and examines the ramifications when our sense of self is severely compromised. It looks at AI through a bold, thought-provoking lens and McIlroy’s compelling writing is not to be missed.
