Helen Phillips

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Hum by Helen Phillips is set in a city full of hyper-intelligent Robots, and one woman is looking for an escape in a world where everyone is addicted to their devices.

What We Say: “This is for all the Black Mirror fans who like finishing a book and feeling a little unsettled! This anxiety-inducing exploration of a tech-dominated future pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction. She masterfully blurs the line between human and machine, showing how deeply AI infiltrates not only our work lives but our most intimate spaces. Highly entertaining and really quite terrifying!” – Olivia Thompson

What They Say: “Hum is something special. Helen Phillips is something really special. This novel is gripping and a true page-turner that made me think about our current world in completely new ways. Ultimately and most importantly, I closed the last page with a profound, deep love for the simple, beautiful and very human lives we lead.” - Ramona Ausubel

Available on Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
