What begins as a botched experiment will change her life-and the world-forever… Inside a barn in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a scientist searching for an Alzheimer’s cure throws a switch-and finds herself mysteriously transported into her husband’s body. Readers won’t feel that they’re on the edge of their seats as much as they’re on a balance beam above a pit of lava while trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube.” - Kirkus ReviewsĬharles Soule brings his signature knowledge-and wariness-of technology to his sophomore novel set in a realistic future about a brilliant female scientist who creates a technology that allows for the transfer of human consciousness between bodies, and the transformations this process wreaks upon the world. “An imaginative, time-fragmented thriller about the bitter and potentially deadly consequences of body-snatching. Who would you be if you could be anyone? I’d really like to be Charles Soule and have written this book.” - Sylvain Neuvel, author of Sleeping Giants I loved the two slowly converging storylines, not to mention the most dedicated, hardcore character I’ve read in a long, long time. “Anyone is an intense, superbly crafted, edge of your seat thrill ride. Charles Soule’s Anyone is a remarkable, consequential novel and a terrifying wake-up call.” - Susan Henderson, author of The Flicker of Old Dreams The same technology that can cure the world’s ills might also cause us to spiral into our own greed, selfishness, and vanity. “I spent much of my childhood inside DARPA, where my father was Deputy Director, and this book captures the imagination and double-edged sword of our greatest scientific leaps. Anyone is truly a book for everyone.” - Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M “Soule has wrapped a sharp, prescient investigation of the human mind inside a breakneck thriller that will have you riveted until the very last twist. The book will leave you thinking about gender, power, and what it means to be human for long after the final chapter.” - Jennifer Wright, author of Get Well Soon: History’s Worst Plagues and the Heroes That Fought Them “With his second novel, Anyone, Charles Soule establishes himself as an author that readers of speculative fiction will love for years to come. Soule’s uncomfortable vision of the future will please readers of cutting-edge speculative fiction.
