Katie Williams: Tell the Machine Goodnight

Set in a near-future San Francisco where virtual reality is commonplace, Williams' first novel for adults introduces us to a cast of men and women struggling to figure out the definition of happiness. The author presents Tell the Machine Goodnight and is interviewed by Austin Chronicle Editor Kimberley Jones here tonight. "With its clever, compelling vision of the future, deeply human characters, and delightfully unpredictable story," says the Kirkus review, "this novel is itself a recipe for contentment."
