The Passengers by John Marrs
5.0

Eight passengers have been taken hostage in the United Kingdom. Their driverless cars have been hacked and are going to collide with each other, killing them all. Broadcasted live for the world, this situation tests the decision making skills of Libby, our protagonist, as she and the other members of the jury must choose which passenger to save in front of a worldwide audience. I was hooked from the first page and finished this read in just two days. If you're looking for a dramatic and suspenseful novel set in the near future, this is your book. I would not be surprised if this was picked up for either a television series or a movie, as it was very engaging and well written.
