What if you could have more hours in the day?

ArkTech’s forty-year anniversary is almost here, but Charlotte Vance has bigger things on her mind. She’s determined to protect her home and her best friend, Ben. That means stopping ArkTech’s curious AI from glitching – once and for all.

When Ben wants to know why a young man is braving a violent storm, Charlotte follows a trail that leads to a strange new technology. It trades in the most valuable currency of all: time.

But Charlotte soon finds herself in a race against the clock. A missing person case pulls her deeper into the mystery – and towards a chilling possibility…

Could Ben’s time be running out?

A glitching AI, a streetwise investigator, and a conspiracy theorist step into a temporal anomaly… but will this punchline be Ben's last?

Time Hack is fun, gripping, and thought-provoking – a clever and insightful mystery for anyone who’s ever wished they had more time.

What we have time for is what we make time for.

This series is brilliant. Leaves you with much to ponder including perils of not addressing climate change and unchecked egos of those in power, potential benefits and pitfalls of AI, finding one's purpose (sometimes it's just being), and contemplating time. It's smart, very clever, heartfelt, occasionally hilarious, and expertly narrated. What would I do with extra hours in the day? Listen to more Marianne Pickles books.

Absolutely the best

Unique and beautiful. The author guides us through a believable world only inches away from our own. The characters are engaging. The storing line leads from incident to incident leaving one thirsty for the next.
