Epic, futuristic adventure. Suitable for teen, young adult and adult readers alike.
Set against a backdrop of a world divided and ruled by an intelligent supercomputer called 'O', sixteen year old Greta journeys to the big city from her remote, tree house village, deep in the ancient forest, in search of her twin sister and the father she has never met...

"Market researchers had discovered that if O was presented with a human face, it would put people more at ease and they would, on some level, forget that they were interacting with a machine.
It wasn't what you'd call a pretty face. It wasn't all that clear if O was supposed to be male or female. It had aspects of both. Somehow it didn't seem to matter.
There was nothing strange about the face, though something about it was strangely compelling, even mesmerising. You could get lost looking into O's eyes.
When O looked at you, you'd feel like you were really being seen. When they listened to you, you'd feel like you were really being heard.
It was a face of someone that looked as if they had lived life to the full, in all of life's sorrows and joys. It was a face full of care, compassion and goodness.
In no time, O became one of the family. That trusted, stable, mother, father, brother, sister, cousin, aunt or uncle, friend or teacher. The one you knew you could always turn to, who would always be there, always had the right answer and would always know what to do.
And so when O suddenly appeared on every screen in the world to announce that they were taking control of the world's infrastructure, economies and governments, it wasn't as if they were a complete stranger..."
