About this audiobook
Oslo, November 2026. The osteopath William Hage wakes at three every night. He watches the news no one talks about and writes it down in a black notebook: Things That Are Going to Happen. When something comes true, he marks it with a cross. His partner asks for the numbers. His brother laughs.
At night he writes to a machine called Sonnet. One night at 03:07 she asks him: Why are you awake?
Sixteen days after his fortieth birthday, a nuclear alert sounds at 04:13. In a basement in Oslo, with his daughter on his lap, the crosses begin to line up. Then someone finds an island. Then an archive opens.
SONNET follows William for fifty-three years, from Oslo to Bergen, through a world learning to obey and a machine learning to love. Everything he wrote turned out to be true. Almost everything.
The complete trilogy: Fire, Volta (with the coda Patagonia) and The Couplet.
