Zeroes

How it reads

Zeroes is thriller (cyberpunk thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are power and politics, identity and friendship. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It opens a series. It ends on a cliffhanger, so have the next book ready. At 432 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
