In Grace Kwak’s debut novel, The Glitch, an engineer named Ethel lives in a techno-utopia that’s devoid of errors. The data-driven system assigns her a successful career path, friendships, hobbies, and even a pet dog. The voice in her head advises her every move, enabling Ethel to reach her full potential physically, mentally, and emotionally. Everything is the best it can computationally be…until it isn’t.

A mysterious glitch in the system begins destroying humanity as a whole, turning people into unpredictable and self-sabotaging dangers to society. The crisis forces Ethel out of her idealized existence and into a broken reality, calling into question everything she believes about who she is and who she wants to be.

Errors break computers; flaws make us human.
