Chosen as the 116th Oprah’s Book Club selection, Holsinger’s brand-new scorching summer read, called Culpability, is an intense page-turner about a family that survives a crash in an autonomous car only to ask the question: who was at fault? Was it the teenage son who was texting in the driver’s seat, the distracted parents, or the car itself? The book that Oprah calls “a modern tale of our times” also touches on our current and fast-approaching future of living with artificial intelligence including chatbots, self-driving cars, drones, and other non-human forces shaping our lives.
