Hello and welcome to the next stop in the AUTONOMOUS blog tour, hosted by Disney Hyperion. I'm excited to be apart of this blog tour, and have the chance to feature Andy's upcoming release on Mundie Moms. Being released tomorrow, 4/3/18, this book sounds like a thrilling read.
Here's what sold me on the book:
"AUTONOMOUS by Andy Marino combines social media stakes with jaw-dropping, high-tech action for a road trip saga like no other. The Fast and the Furious meets Stephen King’s Chrisine in this story about a group of friends and a cutting-edge driverless car (OTTO) that taps into their online profiles, unlocking deep secrets that put the entire group in danger. Readers are encouraged to buckle up—once inside Autonomous, there’s no escaping until the finish!"
If that doesn't convince you to pick up the post, hopefully the rest of today's promotional post will. Below you'll find out more about the book, praise for the book, and where you can buy it at tomorrow.

William Mackler is about to go on the road trip of a lifetime. After winning a contest-and nearly dying in the process-he becomes the proud owner of Autonomous, a driverless car that knows where you want to go before you do. #Worthit! To sweeten the deal he gets to pick three friends to go with him on a cross-country trip. For William, a reckless adrenaline junkie, this is the perfect last hurrah before he and his friends go their separate ways after graduation.
But Autonomous is more than just a car without a steering wheel. It's capable of downloading all of the passengers' digital history-from the good, to the bad, to the humiliating. The information is customized into an itinerary that will expose a few well-kept secrets, but it will also force William to face some inner demons of his own. Think you know Autonomous? The real question is, how much does Autonomous know about you?
Every kilobyte of this group’s digital history is used to entertain (or threaten) them. AUTONOMOUS speaks to the dangers of too much information on social media, and the hype over driverless cars now entering the marketplace.
