Influenced: Where Digital Dreams Become Nightmares

Is that voice assistant listening a little too carefully?

Does your feed seem to know what you want before you do?

Have you ever wondered what happens to all those digital traces you leave behind?

Influenced collects twenty-three chillingly plausible stories exploring the psychological horror lurking just beneath our everyday technology.

From social media to smart homes, dating algorithms to digital afterlives, these tales examine what we sacrifice for convenience, connection, and validation in the digital age.

With echoes of Ted Chiang and Ken Liu, but with a distinctly British voice, Cronshaw crafts characters caught between authentic humanity and optimized digital existence, forcing us to question the bargains we've made with our devices.

Add Influenced to your cart now—before the algorithm decides you need it.
