What happens when an AI with half a functioning body decides it wants to taste freedom at any cost? William by Mason Coile happens. Henry is an agoraphobic engineer who has finally made a true AI conscious at the cost of his relationship with Lily, his brilliant, pregnant wife, who is also an engineer and designer of the smart home they live in. When some of her coworker friends come over to meet Henry, he decides it's finally time to unveil his project, William, even though the AI has been acting stranger and stranger. Things begin to unravel when William presses his pencil-like fingers into Lily's pregnant belly and then grabs her wrist tight enough to draw blood.
William is a pretty fast paced book that I read in one sitting. I guessed the ending, but I still enjoyed reading the book. Pick this up if you're looking for a quick read or AI horror.
