Going Zero

That can-you-beat-the-system hook recalls the juggernaut likes of Ready Player One and Lost, but Going Zero outpaces them both, and dives deeper: it’s a speculative-fiction classic in the vein (and even in the league) of I, Robot and Jurassic Park. Provocative, perceptive and – no other word will do – ingenious – A. J. Finn, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the WindowOne of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. Beyond pure entertainment is the truth this novel speaks about the disturbing times we live in – Douglas Preston, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng and The Lost City of the Monkey GodAs fast-paced as it is timely … Anthony McCarten shoots a bullet through contemporary America with this wickedly taut conspiracy thriller. I’ll never look at my phone the same way again – Graham Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Days of Night and The SherlockianThe excitement is in the chase, which builds steadily … This well-written yarn proves that you don’t have to have a blood-bath to have an engaging thriller * Kirkus Reviews *
