She has been orphaned since the pandemic, her foster parents find her eccentric and off-putting, and her legal guardian is nowhere to be seen. Now, an algorithm has predicted the very worst--​within thirty days, Kate will either be killed, or become a killer. When two police officers arrive at her home in Maine intending to implant her with a tracking device, Kate is urged by her trusted AI Interactive Toy (a talking stuffed seal named Zeno) to make an immediate escape. Confused and looking for answers, Kate sets a course for New York City and begins an Orwellian journey into the unknown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGripping, intricately plotted, and delightfully imaginative, \u003ci\u003eCertainty\u003c\/i\u003e is a profound and eerily prescient novel about the ever-blurring line between man and machine. Amid the murder investigation of a gifted AI robot-maker, a missing-person being tracked down in the darkest corners of virtual reality, and Kate's harrowing journey to New York, John Twelve Hawks's novel explores the spectacular humanity to be found in a world where humans are themselves endangered.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHN TWELVE HAWKS is author of the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller, \u003ci\u003eThe Traveler\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book in a trilogy that includes \u003ci\u003eThe Dark River\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Golden City\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Realm Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e has been translated into 25 languages. Known as \"JTH\" by his readers, Hawks followed the trilogy with \u003ci\u003eSpark\u003c\/i\u003e, a stand-alone novel, and a nonfiction book, \u003ci\u003eAgainst Authority: Freedom and the Rise of the Surveillance States\u003c\/i\u003e. His readers have translated this e-book into multiple languages. For more than 20 years, JTH has lived a deliberately \"anonymous life\" to show his resistance to the continual government and corporate attack on privacy. He has discussed his life choices in a published essay, \u003ci\u003eWriting as the Sky Rains Death\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition, Hawks and the British DJ, John Digweed, created \u003ci\u003eThe Traveler Album\u003c\/i\u003e, a musical collaboration that combined spoken passages of the novel with progressive house music. JTH worked as a war correspondent and turned to fiction to understand a fractured reality. Like several of his characters, he has lived in London, New York City, Paris and Berlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9.45 x 6.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48376584044793,"sku":"9780385551205","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/CUFHPl7Qzk9780385551205.webp?v=1778280888","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/certainty-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
