Zero

Anyone who moves through the net can't escape it: they know who we are, where we are, and what we'll do next. When a boy is shot during a police chase, journalist Cynthia Bonsant is pulled into investigating Freemee, a wildly popular platform that collects and analyzes users' personal data — promising a better, more successful life in return.

The only person publicly warning against Freemee, and the outsized power it could hand a handful of people, is Zero: the world's most wanted online activist. As Cynthia digs deeper into the platform and the people behind it, she becomes a target herself.

In a world of cameras, data glasses, and smartphones, there's no such thing as staying hidden. Marc Elsberg's near-future techno-thriller examines surveillance, data, and the price of a "better" life mediated by algorithms.
