Haley is the hero of our times--bold, bewitching, and superbly drawn. Her voice rang in my ears long after I reluctantly turned the last page."--Diane Cook, author of the Booker Prize nominated novel The New WildernessMy name is Haley Cooper Crowe and I am in lockdown in a remote location I can't tell you about.Children of divorce, Haley and Ben live with their mother.

Saving them requires extreme measures.Kidnapped by their father and confined to his compound far off the grid, Haley and Ben have no contact with the outside world. How can they save their mother? Will they make it out alive? Is the threat real--or is this all just a dark fantasy brought on by their conspiracy obsessed father's warped imagination?Propulsive and chilling in its realism, How to Survive Everything is the story of a world imploding; a teenage girl's record for negotiating the collapse of everything she knows--including her family and sanity.

'Close Your Eyes is an astonishing book. It manages to be both clear-eyed and harsh, compassionate and just. It takes us right to the heart of the turbulent social changes that defined our last quarter century and it is a revealing, honest, searing novel about mothers and children, about what it means to be part of a family. The story, the writing, the moral intelligence: all of it is a knock out'Christopher Tsiolkas, author of The SlapIn 1981 a mother abandoned her child and drove into the night, never to return. Her disappearance was reported in the press as a fatal road accident. Her body was never found.Thirty years later, Rowan has a child of her own. Afflicted by post-natal depression, she is convinced that she'll hurt her daughter unless she unpicks the mystery of her past, buried deep within a commune in the remote highlands of Scotland. Leaving her young family and life in London, she returns to her childhood home to find a failed utopia shrouded in secrecy. And there, with a looming cult leader, among the rites and rituals, the sacraments and ceremonies, is a single postcard dated a week after her mother's death. As she draws ever closer to the truth about her mother, she fears she might lose even herself.

"This book really did seem to be about the meaning of life and just so valuable but also completely terrifying...everybody, you must read For Emma"--Georgina Godwin, Monocle Radio: Meet the Writers "Ewan Morrison's depiction of AI and biotech's future could be a dystopian fiction classic."--Buzz Magazine How Far Would You Go to Save Your Child from the Machines? A year after Emma Henson, a young, genius biotech scientist, dies in a covert AI brain-chip experiment, her father, Josh, has nothing left to live for and vows to get revenge on the Silicon Valley CEO responsible. Josh has thirty days to make his homemade bombs and to say goodbye to life. To give himself courage in the countdown, he records daily video messages to his lost "Em." Memories flood him as he searches for the moments in Emma's short life where he could have been a better father and saved her. Fueled by the horrific memories of Em's death--her body and brain devoured by the AI "infinity" system--he grapples with constructing and testing his DIY bombs as his thirty days start to run out, and Emma's voice returns to him, speaking with him as he sets to complete his mission. He worries that he's gone insane--he doubts if he can see the violent act through--but Emma's voice insists he continue on his path toward murder and mayhem. Josh tries to resist his daughter's voice as it attempts to take full control of his body. But is it even her? Or is it a ghost, a psychotic delusion, or the AI system that is controlling him? Inspired by the real-life Brain Chip Implant experiments (Musk/Neuralink) and the technogothic tradition (Frankenstein, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Island of Dr. Moreau), For Emma is a tale of possession by a new force unleashed by science. It is a warning for the future but also an intimate, heart-breaking study of the love between a father and daughter and of the madness that grief can drive us to.

This richly illustrated publication explores the work of contemporary artist Nathan Coley. It offers a detailed look at three of his most significant sculptural works: The Lamp of Sacrifice, 286 Places of Worship, Edinburgh 2004, 2004; Paul, 2015; and Tate Modern on Fire, 2017, which is reproduced and discussed here for the first time. In a newly commissioned text, award-winning novelist, screenwriter and director Ewan Morrison focuses on these three sculptures to explore the complexity and ambiguity of Coley's artistic practice. Morrison brings into play different narrative forms and voices to draw attention to the realms of history, art history and politics that Coley's work inhabits, as well as the deeply personal responses that Coley's work can generate. This book accompanies the exhibition NOW at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh (25 March to 24 October 2017).

"One of the most provocative, intelligent and original novelists working in Britain today." Irvine Welsh. My dad taught us to be prepared for whatever was coming. He said we should know the facts about how long we could survive without food, water or fresh air, and to remember that we couldn't live at all without hope. It was better, he said, to be ahead of the game. Better to be ten years too early than one minute too late. That's why he did what he did, on that morning ... Inspired by her father's advance planning and her own ingenuity and courage, this is one teenage girl's survival guide for navigating life under a new, even more deadly pandemic from the confines of a prepper compound. Will she ride out the collapse of everything she knows, and how can she save her family - and sanity?

"A masterpiece ... the eminent fiction writer of our times" - Irvine Welsh Multi-award-winning author Ewan Morrison’s 9th book is a gripping, high-stakes, high concept thriller, which fuses futurism with a powerful emotional core. Emma is a young genius Silicon Valley scientist who dies in a secret AI brain chip experiment. Her voice then haunts her father, helping him plan the killing of the Big Tech CEO who destroyed her. For Emma is a ghost-in-the machine tale of bereavement and of a unique and conflicted love between a daughter and her father. "For Emma is a brilliant book that you will devour. Its compelling exploration of love, loss, and the haunting power of technology and morality makes it a must-read, delving into the highly relevant and intriguing intersection of humanity and advanced AI." Bruna Papandrea Producer - Gone Girl, Big Little Lies "For Emma is a haunting work, resonating and echoing for a long time after reading. Although concerned with AI, it is a human book, both grief soaked and love filled. In For Emma, Morrison has created a true masterpiece, one that will endure as a testament to his concern for our endangered humanity." Ali Millar “A beautiful, intense, challenging, scary and very, very timely book.” J.T Leroy / Laura Albert “For Emma is a brilliant book that you will devour. Its compelling exploration of love, loss, and the haunting power of technology and morality makes it a must-read, delving into the highly relevant and intriguing intersection of humanity and advanced AI.” Bruna Papandrea, producer of Gone Girl, Big Little Lies "Heartbreaking and harrowing, this is a suspenseful journey into a family's tortured past and its nightmarish present. Ewan Morrison's attention to the details of parental love and responsibility make this an unforgettable book." Atom Egoyan, director, The Sweet Hereafter “Ewan Morrison’s harrowing and beautiful new novel, For Emma, is an early warning system for the future. In that way, a worthy successor to Easy Travel to Other Planets, Neuromancer, and, of course, Brave New World.” David Shields, author Reality Hunger “Hold onto your seats for a cracking good ending, which I did not see coming, yet which I felt I should have seen coming – the best kind.” Lionel Shriver "Thrilling, unsettling, and fundamentally humane, For Emma is an explosively timely novel. A shifting metafiction of unreliable narration that knowingly calls to mind the gothic horror of Stevenson and Hogg, while relentlessly fixated on the anxieties of our current social age. A disturbing and unflinching glimpse into disillusionment and conspiracy, and a techno-dystopian warning call about the terrors less of the future, than of the now." Kieran Hurley – Playwright “Just as Ewan Morrison was ahead of the field with pandemic fiction and novels about ideological capture, so he is the pioneer of AI literature in Scotland. Terrifying, engrossing, masterful. The most inventive and original writer we have.” Alex Linklater – Journalist “For Emma is a gripping novel of a near future that is almost upon us, and that this dire warning seeks to prevent. Here's hoping.” Ken MacLeod “Harrowing, tragic and moving.” Ian Rankin

A Silicon Valley prodigy dies in a secret AI brain chip experiment.Her voice haunts her father and helps him plan the killing of the Big Tech CEO who destroyed her.For Emma is a ghost-in-the machine tale of bereavement and of a unique and conflicted love between a daughter and her father. “A masterpiece….For Emma is an extraordinary novel; a treatise of love and loss, the terror of the modern world and the sprung, high-tech trap humanity has set for itself. This would be more than enough: awe inspiringly, it’s also a page-turning thriller, and it confirms its author as the eminent fiction writer of our times.” Irvine Welsh “Absolutely wonderful…riveting, sad, mad and terrifying.” Terry Gilliam “For Emma is as disturbing as it is convincing, a tale of love and guilt and grief, and an apt tract for our chaotic times.” John Banville “This book scared me like no horror story ever has, because its monster is right in front of us, right now, eating us slowly while we cheer.” Isaac Marion, author Warm Bodies “Harrowing, tragic and moving.” Ian Rankin “A devastatingly accomplished and cinema-literate nightmare of culture-induced and morally bereft psychotic breakdown: the state in which we are all now registered, observed and disenfranchised. The poetry of paranoia, here, is so compelling, that we are forced to conclude that the very act of tale-telling, authorship, is being dictated by a terrifying otherness. Now read on. Please.” Iain Sinclair, writer, filmmaker “For Emma is an astonishing, bold novel… heart-rending, but also complex, visceral and angry… unlike anything I have read before – a sympathetic, yet abject account of violence. Morrison’s eyes are on the horizon. This is the novel for our times, a mordant, coruscating yet exhilarating account of where we will be, sooner than we think.” Nicholas Blincoe
