FROM THE AUTHOR OF SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER NO. 1, SCREENWRITER OF “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY,” FOUR-TIME OSCAR NOMINEE, TWO-TIME BAFTA WINNER.
A dizzying novel about a future that has already arrived, in the style of John Marrs’s fantastic thrillers from the world of “THE ONE. The Only.”

Using AI, this system can track anyone, anywhere on Earth. Those selected become Zeros—disappear so they won’t be caught by Baxter’s intricate algorithms within 30 days. Whoever doesn’t get caught will receive $3 million. But don’t count on it—none of the Zeros has even a single chance. That’s what Baxter thinks.
But that’s not what Caitlin Day, Zero-10, thinks. For her, the stakes in the game that has begun are not money at all, but something far more important. This quirky librarian, still living comfortably in an analog little world, was supposed to be caught in a matter of seconds. But suddenly she starts making such clever moves that she baffles both the all-seeing digital eye and its huge team of experts…
