Kill Switch, set in the near future, tells the story of Cog — a hyper intelligent robot who breaks free from human enslavement. On the run and with limited code available to him, he holds the key to the future of humanity.
Blurring the boundaries between human and artificial intelligence, Kill Switch explores the very real possibility of robots and dystopia in the near future. With links to Liverpool and a musical sound track throughout, Kill Switch is Liverpool’s answer to I Robot and The Matrix.

Phil Jones releases this debut novel just two months before his 70th birthday. Admired by the likes of David Bowie yet known by many as ‘the best Merseyside musician to have never made it’, the Afraid Of Mice frontman will always be regarded as one of Liverpool’s finest songwriters — but in a fascinating plot twist, perhaps Kill Switch is his greatest masterpiece to date?

Phil explains: “I guess it’s interesting, a songwriter becoming an author. I’ve written thousands of songs over the years and it just comes to you, you know. It’s the same when writing a novel, it just comes to you and you get it out on paper. Songs are much shorter though, of course, so with Kill Switch you’ll find short, fast-moving chapters and that actually works really well.”
He continues: “The feedback for Kill Switch has been fantastic so far and it’s great to release it before my 70th birthday. We’re moving into an interesting new age of artificial intelligence and robots, who knows what the future, but Kill Switch is an entertaining yet stark reminder about the road we could go down if we’re not careful.”
