Going Zero

By Anthony McCarten

Going Zero, a high-concept thriller from Oscar-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten. Erase yourself. The hunt has begun. Perfect for fans of I Am Pilgrim and The Circle.TWO HOURS TO VANISHTen people have been carefully selected to Beta test a ground-breaking piece of spyware. Pioneered by tech-wunderkind Cy Baxter, FUSION can track anyone wherever they are on earth. But does it work?ONE CHANCE TO ESCAPEEach participant is given two hours to &#39;Go Zero&#39; - to go off-grid and disappear - and then thirty days to elude the highly sophisticated Capture Teams sent to find them. Any Zero that beats FUSION will receive $3million in cash. If Cy&#39;s system prevails, he wins a $90 billion-dollar contract with the CIA to develop FUSION and revolutionize surveillance forever.ZERO ALTERNATIVESFor contestant Kaitlyn Day, the stakes are far higher than money, and her reasons for entering the test more personal than Cy could have ever imagined. Kaitlyn needs to win to get what she wants, and Cy will stop at nothing to realize his ambitions. They have no choice but to finish the game and when the timer hits zero, there will only be one winner...PRAISE FOR GOING ZERO &quot;Going Zero is the first novel I&#39;ve read in years that speeds the pulse as much as it challenges the brain. 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&#39;s a speculative-fiction classic in the vein (and even in the league) of I, Robot and Jurassic Park -- a thriller you can gobble down with a bucket of popcorn, and also feel smarter for having read.  Provocative, perceptive, and -- no other word will do - ingenious.&quot; A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window&quot;This is one of the best thrillers I&#39;ve read in a long time, although the word &#39;thriller&#39; doesn&#39;t quite capture the sheer pleasure of reading this story, with its wickedly clever set-up, its unassuming librarian protagonist, its twisty plot and surprise ending. Beyond pure entertainment is the truth this novel speaks about the disturbing times we live in. I highly, highly recommend this book.&quot; Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cabinet of Dr. Leng and The Lost City of the Monkey God&quot;As fast-paced as it is timely...Anthony McCarten shoots a bullet through contemporary America with this wickedly taut conspiracy thriller. I&#39;ll never look at my phone the same way again.&quot; Graham Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Holdout and The Last Days of Night
