The trail leads to her estranged adoptive father, who's peddling a dangerous bootleg technology on the black market: a "time hack" that lets people add more hours to their days.But the deeper Charlotte digs, the higher the stakes. Ben's fate will come down to a vote from ArkTech's corporate board, and the one person who might turn the tide has gone missing.Soon, Charlotte and Ben are living on borrowed time, using the illegal tech to search for answers.Set in a near future that is neither heaven nor hellscape, Time Hack is charming, thought-provoking, and cynically optimistic - perfect for fans of Terry Pratchett, Martha Wells, and Becky Chambers."This is going to sound like hyperbole, but I assure you it's not: this is one of my favorite books I've read. Ever." - Reader review
