Summary
Michael Danvers’ life of self-imposed seclusion is interrupted when he receives a strange invitation: the unique opportunity to move into and beta-test a fully automated, state-of-the-art smart home. A true marvel of modern innovation, the house is controlled by a sophisticated AI that ensures all routine tasks are taken care of, limitless forms of entertainment are just a voice command away, and nearly every physical need is met with efficiency. But soon, Michael realizes that what at first presented itself as a futuristic utopia may be quickly devolving into a technological prison.

a must read!
4.5
I really enjoyed the audiobook of Beta! Excellent narration.
The first half was slow but interesting, with some frustrating moments (just men being idiots, nothing new lol), and then the story begins in earnest.
A few twists i figured out, many caught me by surprise - but the structure of the book is a very unique concept that i haven't seen elsewhere, so i named it "Sammy's Infinite Hall of mirrors". To be honest it's nothing short of genius, and it's an amazing achievement that was absolutely delightful!
Very highly recommend this book.

One of the best books I’ve read this year
What an absolute masterpiece! So clever, exquisitely written and terrifyingly plausible. Extraordinarily good story with excellent narration to match. Cannot recommend this enough!
