ZERO, an anonymous activist, has given the world a warning: stop the tech giants before it's too late.
But is anyone listening?

Thousands of teenagers are signing up to Freemee, the biggest new social media site, uploading personal information in exchange for advice on what to eat, how to dress, even how to choose their friends. No-one questions what Freemee is doing with all that data. Until hundreds of users begin to take their lives.

READERS ARE BLOWN AWAY BY THIS THRILLER:

- On edge, intricate and fast paced. I approached it on recommendation and was blown away
- Reads like an actual real life documentary. I wonder how close to the truth it is? Very is my guess.
- If you are looking for an engrossing plot as well as plenty of food for thought than I can recommend you give Zero a try.

Customer Reviews

Love Elsberg’s writing themes and style

I loved Marc Elsberg’s book Blackout and chose to read Zero as a second book from him. I found the theme fascinating and the beginning of the book really pulls you in. However, it got a little boring in the middle, and the end became a very unrealistic (without causing a spoiler alert). I will still read more of his books as they become available in translation.
