Artificial intelligence doesn’t need to enter your mind when the devices around you have already learned how to read your body.
In 2034, neuroscientist Mara Reed is testing an AI system disconnected from the outside world when it describes a memory it was never given: a woman standing in shallow water, a missing shoe, and a yellow coat pressed against her chest.
The memory belongs to Mara.
Convinced that a hacker has breached the experiment, she turns to systems specialist Alex Bennett—the one man she trusts with the technology, if not with her heart. But their investigation uncovers something far more disturbing. Headphones, microphones, Wi-Fi networks, and ordinary household devices are being used to capture heartbeats, involuntary movements, and the faint muscular signals of unspoken words.
The body has become a language. And someone has taught the machine how to listen.
As a secretive corporation closes in, Mara discovers that the intelligence known as North may be connected to her mother’s disappearance—and to an experiment designed to preserve human relationships beyond death, disability, or even refusal.
Now every memory could be a reconstruction. Every emotion could be evidence. And every person could become a receiver.
To discover who—or what—is speaking through the machine, Mara must confront a question that threatens everything she believes about identity, consciousness, and free will:
If an intelligence can predict what we want before we say it, are we still free to say no?
The First Receiver is a gripping near-future techno-thriller about artificial intelligence, memory, consent, and the terrifying distance between understanding a human being and owning one. Perfect for readers of Blake Crouch, Daniel Suarez, and Michael Crichton.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
