About this listen

The award-winning sequel to Artificial Selection.

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.

This second book in the Ark Tech series leads Ben (the territory's AI) and Charlotte (the Head of Awkward Questions) to profound questions: What do I really want to do with my time? What do I do when I realise that the history I've been taught isn't true? Their friendship deepens as the plot twists and turns, with plenty of laughs along the way. Kristin Atherton is a superb narrator, bringing all the characters tangibly to life. Highly recommended.
