Yet each family member harbors a secret, implicating them all in the tragic accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring a weeklong recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay, the family confronts the excruciating moral dilemmas triggered by the crash. Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation jeopardizes Charlie's future. Alice and Izzy turn strangely furtive. And Lorelei's odd behavior tugs at Noah's suspicions that there is a darker truth behind the incident--suspicions heightened by the sudden intrusion of Daniel Monet, a tech mogul whose mysterious history with Lorelei hints at betrayal. When Charlie falls for Monet's teenaged daughter, the stakes are raised even higher in this propulsive family drama that is also a fascinating exploration of the moral responsibility and ethical consequences of AI. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulpability\u003c\/i\u003e explores a world newly shaped by chatbots, autonomous cars, drones, and other nonhuman forces in ways that are thrilling, challenging, and unimaginably provocative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Holsinger \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eCulpability\u003c\/i\u003e, the 116th selection of Oprah's Book Club and hailed by Oprah Winfrey as \"a must-read for all generations.\" His four previous novels include \u003ci\u003eThe Gifted School\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Colorado Book Award, and \u003ci\u003eThe Displacements\u003c\/i\u003e, the inaugural title in the United Nations Read for Action Book Club.
