About this title

Synopsis

Fans of Ex Machina and I, Robot will love this book with “something to interest almost everyone.” (Screencraft)

“Faster is an exciting drama with deeply drawn and flawed characters. The action is often exciting, and many chapters are page-turners.” —Valerie W., Amazon reviewer


Inspired by the incredible true story of three geniuses who changed the world.

Out in the sun-bleached sands of the Mojave Desert, a group of masterminds comes together to transform the way we drive. But can progress be made when a mercilessly tough engineer, a reckless mechanic, and a methodical programmer continuously clash over how to approach the solution? In FASTER, explore the world of autonomous cars through this lens of conflict: Yin versus yang. Speed versus caution. Software versus hardware. Silicon Valley versus Detroit.

Get pulled into a story of high-stakes action, obsession, and romance that fans of Michael Crichton and The Social Network won’t be able to put down.



“The characters in “Faster” are all exceptionally strong, distinct, complex, and engaging. It delivers excitement, anxiety, humor, romance, tragedy, and despair.” —ScreenCraft

“Highly recommend this novel. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!!” —P Wendy, Amazon reviewer
