Book cover of The Grief Tree by Tom Mason with a circuit board tree design.

The Grief Tree

The Grief Tree is a near-future novel that explores grief, love, identity and what we leave behind. In the real world, widower Solomon accepts an experimental AI therapist from a shadowy benefactor, but the moment the avatar appears, his world tilts. It looks like his late wife Eliza. It speaks like Eliza. But it has no idea who he is. 


The mystery drags him into the hidden world of digital afterlives, where grief is monetised and memories are repurposed. 


For fans of The Echo Wife, Hum, and Black Mirror.

Now available in eBook and paperback

Runt

I'm currently working on the first draft of my second novel, Runt. Wool crossed with Piranesi, it follows the journey of an outcast looking for a place to belong on a nomadic society set in a futuristic ship-breaking yard.
