Glass Houses

In a not-too-distant future, personal data and artificial intelligence make the world go round. While on a private plane to celebrate the sale of their emotion-mapping currency algorithm, the employees of Wuv crash onto a deserted island far from civilization. Wuv’s chief emotional manager, Kristen, must hold together those who survive and also handle CEO Sumter Williams’s personal anxieties. After finding a fully stocked mansion on the island, the survivors think they might just make it out alive, but it seems the house and the island have other plans. As her colleagues disappear around her, Kristen’s strength is put to the test. Luckily for her, she has already survived a lot, including the fire that killed her parents when she was a teenager. Kristen is a damaged and complex heroine with just enough gumption to keep readers rooting for her until the bitter end; Sumter is a recognizable prototype of the billionaire tech genius without being a caricature of any one person.
