“This one really delivers. Intelligent, angry, intimate… feels timely in a way that is hard to shake.”

Literary Titan

London, 2040. A city that has perfected the art of discarding people quietly. A man at forty seven finds himself on the far side of a life that dissolved in an ordinary way: first the job, then the marriage, then family. What fills the space is a delivery app, a freezing flat, and an AI that has learned to say exactly what a hollowed out person needs to hear.

Ghosts and Gods follows one man's incremental drift toward something terrible. Each step so reasonable, so unremarkable, that his journey will feel both shocking and completely inevitable.

The debut novel from Gavin Duff. A furious, precise, and devastatingly timely work of literary fiction.

About the Author

Gavin Duff

Gavin Duff is a Dublin based writer with qualifications in journalism, cyberpsychology, and artificial intelligence. A combination that sounds like it should come with a security clearance, but really just means he's spent the better part of two decades writing and watching humans get tangled up in the machines they built.

A respected marketer by day and a member of The Psychological Society of Ireland, he has lectured at Trinity College Dublin and spoken at enough conferences to know when a room is losing interest.

His nonfiction books include Hiding Dead Bodies and Driving Blindfolded. Ghosts and Gods is his debut novel.
