Description
A New York Times Best Thriller Pick for 2023
'Provocative, perceptive and ingenious' – A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
Going Zero is a high-concept thriller from Oscar-nominated screenwriter Anthony McCarten. Perfect for fans of I Am Pilgrim and The Circle. Shortlisted for the Wilbur Smith Adventure Book Prize.
TWO HOURS TO VANISH
Ten people are selected to Beta test a ground-breaking piece of spyware. Pioneered by tech-wunderkind Cy Baxter, FUSION can track anyone on earth.
ONE CHANCE TO WIN
Given two hours to 'Go Zero' – disappear off-grid – each Zero has thirty days to elude the sophisticated Capture Teams sent to find them. Anyone that beats FUSION will receive $3 million. If Cy's system proves itself, he wins a $90 billion contract with the CIA to revolutionize surveillance forever.
ZERO ALTERNATIVES TO LOSING
For Zero 10, Kaitlyn Day, the stakes are higher than money, and far more personal than Cy could have imagined. Kaitlyn needs to win to get what she wants, and Cy will stop at nothing to realize his ambitions. When the game’s timer hits zero, there will only be one winner. . .

Featured Reviews
Loved this book- great story with a fantastic twist. It challenges the reader to think about how we could go off grid when we are constantly being surveyed. Highly recommend!
Breakneck thriller: pacy and fun. Really got under my skin by the end and I'm now very paranoid about data privacy. Excuse me while I put some tape over my webcam. Fantastic read!
I found the basic premise of this book very troubling. What if it actually happens, or worse still, what if it already is happening?
It takes the basic premise of the U.K. Television programme Hinted to a completely new level, making it on a par with George Orwe!I's and the plot as1984.
The book is extremely well written. The research that has gone into it is clearly meticulous. The pace is fast and the tension level is almost constant.
The characters are utterly believable and the plot has some clever twists and turns.
I summary, I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it's simpi!y a great read.
