Book Overview & Reviews
Going Zero is a technothriller that explores themes of privacy and government surveillance. The novel has been shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Book Prize.
- Plot Summary: A Silicon Valley billionaire, Cy Baxter, develops a groundbreaking spyware called FUSION, capable of tracking anyone on Earth. To prove its effectiveness for a potential $90 billion government contract, ten individuals are chosen to "Go Zero"—disappear off the grid for thirty days. One participant, an unassuming Boston librarian named Kaitlyn Day, has personal and high-stakes reasons to win that go beyond the $3 million cash prize. The narrative follows both the participants' attempts to evade capture and the operations at Fusion Central.
- Expert and User Reviews:
- Reviewers on Bookreporter.com praise the book for being a "gripping, unique and fascinating read" that effectively highlights the daily disappearance of privacy.
- Amazon editors describe it as a "relentless new nailbiter" that will make readers question the prospect of a digital Big Brother.
- Customers on Amazon find the book suspenseful, thought-provoking, and a great read with clever plot twists. Many found it impossible to put down.
- Some readers on Goodreads and Reddit found the technical details implausible and some plot points (particularly in the second half) to be less engaging or slightly unsatisfying.
