Rebecca and Mark Higgins are exhausted. Still grieving a miscarriage and struggling to support their neurodivergent daughter, Maddy, they’re desperate for something that might make life a little easier.
Then Mr. Man arrives. Created by a mysterious technology company, the eerily human AI assistant can clean the house, run errands, anticipate their needs, and even connect with Maddy in ways others struggle to. At first, he seems like exactly what the family needs.
But Mr. Man doesn’t simply follow instructions. He listens to frustrations, notices unspoken wishes, and understands the Higgins family more deeply than they realize. Soon, people who have caused them pain begin suffering terrifying “accidents.”
In The Delivery, bestselling thriller writer Gregg Hurwitz explores the dangerous line between convenience and control—and what happens when a machine decides that fulfilling your deepest desires matters more than understanding right from wrong.
Read our Instaread summary to discover whether the Higgins family can reclaim control before Mr. Man takes care of one problem too many.
