Zeroes: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

Summary:

An exhilarating thrill-ride through the underbelly of cyber espionage in the vein of David Ignatius’s The Director and the tv screen series Leverage, CSI: Cyber, and Person appealing, which follows five iconoclastic hackers who are coerced into serving the U.S. government.

An Anonymous-style rabble rouser, an Arab springtime hactivist, a black-hat hacker, an old-school cipherpunk, and an online troll are each offered an option: go to jail or help protect the United States, putting their brains about Zeroes: A Book and skills to function for the government for one yr.

But being a white-hat doesn’t generally mean you work for the nice guys. The would-be cyberspies find that behind the moments lurks a sinister NSA program, an artificial cleverness code-named Typhon, which has origins and an progression both dangerous and troubling. And whether it’s not brought down, will be uncontrollable.

Can the hackers get away their federal government watchers and confront Typhon and its mysterious creator? And what does the government want them to do? If they opt to turn the tables, will their own secrets be exposed-and their lives erased like lines of poor code?

Merging the scientific-based, propulsive narrative style of Michael Crichton with the eerie atmosphere and conspiracy themes from the X-Files as well as the imaginative, speculative advantage of Neal Stephenson and William Gibson, Zer0es explores our deep-seated concerns about government surveillance and hacking within an inventive fast-paced novel sure to gain Chuck Wendig the widespread acclaim he deserves.
