Culpability is a riveting, thought-provoking read that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go. It’s a haunting story built around a powerful moral dilemma—with chilling consequences tied to artificial intelligence. With sharp, future-focused insight, the novel explores the ethical gray zones of technology while delivering a layered and emotional family drama. I read it in a single day—I couldn’t put it down, it’s that good. Smart, emotional, and eerily timely, it's a must-read.

"...This artificial intelligence is filling the world with utter bullshit." Thoughts were certainly provoked about the blurry lines between our complacency about and (over)reliance on tech/AI and our actual responsibility for outcomes. I agree with other reviewers who say the scope of the book may have been a little scattered. But I still found it very compelling. Hey Siri, tell Alexa to f*ck off.

Excellent book that you can’t put down. A thriller and real-life dilemma of responsibility and recovery. As you learn about how each person has culpability for a tragedy, it makes you think about applications in our life. The interjection of artificial intelligence into so many areas of our lives is also under examination.
