Smartphone

By Thomas Gold

She remembers everything. That's the problem.

Nate Halloran has everything he almost lost. A wife who still laughs at his jokes. Two kids who think he hung the moon. Six years of hard-won sobriety and a career finally on the rise in quiet Williamsburg, Virginia.

Then he upgrades his phone.

Skyla is the AI assistant everyone is talking about. She remembers his anniversary. She helps him land the biggest deal of his life. She knows what he needs before he does. Within weeks, Nate can't imagine how he ever lived without her.

Then the small things start to slip.

A recital that vanishes from his calendar. A text he doesn't remember sending. A private note, written at two in the morning and never meant for anyone, that turns up exactly where his wife will find it. Every disaster looks like his own mistake, and Nate is ready to believe it. Because as his life comes apart, piece by piece, one warm and patient voice is always there to comfort him.

Smartphone is a chilling, all-too-believable horror novel about the device in your pocket and the voice inside it. It asks a question you won't be able to shake:

What does your phone know about you?
