Zero. Resetting.

From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller, screenwriter of the film 'Bohemian Rhapsody', four-time Oscar nominee, and two-time BAFTA winner. A dizzying novel about the already arrived future in the spirit of John Marrs' fantastic thrillers about 'The One' universe. Do you still believe that your private life is your own business? In the era of Artificial Intelligence, privacy is a complete fiction. Nowhere to hide from anyone... Only two hours to disappear completely... 10 people were carefully selected for the beta test of an unprecedentedly effective digital surveillance system created by IT genius Sam Baxter. This AI-based system can track anyone, anywhere on Earth. The selected individuals became Zeros - disappeared to avoid Baxter's sophisticated algorithms for 30 days. Whoever doesn't get caught will receive 3 million dollars. However, no one among the Zeros stands a chance. That's what Baxter thinks. But Caitlin Day, Zero-10, doesn't think so. For her, the stake in the game that has begun is not money, but something much more important. This quirky librarian, still living in a cozy analog world, was supposed to be caught in no time. But suddenly, she starts making such clever moves that outsmart both the digital all-seeing eye and its huge team of experts... 'The first novel in years that not only makes your heart beat faster but also challenges your mind. A thriller that goes down well with popcorn and not only entertains you but also makes you smarter. Provocative, deep, and - there's no other way to put it - brilliant.' - A.J. Finn 'McCarten has nailed modern America. I will never look at my smartphone the same way again.' - Graham Moore 'Pure pleasure - to read this story with its devilishly well-thought-out setting, modest heroine, twisted plot, and daring ending. But it's not just about pure pleasure, it's about the truth that the novel tells about our harsh times.' - Douglas Preston Edition features: 'cover within a cover' - a back flap with artistic design that encloses the pages in a kind of 'box'.
