-Some people found it repetitive…but, it wasn‘t an issue for me.
-It was often quite noticeable that a man wrote the female protagonist.
-There are a significant amount of implausible elements, but I just went with it.

⭐️⭐️this would be just fine as an airplane book to get you through a flight. Pretty generic.

Ten people chosen at@random, 2 days to hide, 30 days not found and you win 3 million. Good scary truth read. Oh, that technology is out there.😳. Try to decide how you would hide. Great read.

Ten ordinary people are chosen to evade capture in a one month time period. The payoff? A cool three million bucks. It‘s a cat and mouse game between the ten contestants and one tech giant. Will anyone win? And at what cost? As the book winds down, it‘s a real race to the end. Great writing and character development and of course a desire to know if the good guys will win.

Just finished "Going Zero" a good tech gone awry, exciting.

A fast paced techno thriller. Bigger than life Elon Musk type Cy challenges ten people to evade his surveillance technology for thirty days. If they do they get 3 million dollars. This book moved, and was hard to put down once I started.

Basically spent my entire Saturday reading this book - couldn‘t put it down. A librarian takes part in a real life beta test of a private/government computer program called Fusion that invades privacy and stalks “ wrong doers”. What could go wrong? Lots of course. The author is a screen writer so it‘s fast paced and entertaining 👍👍💚🐉

Kaitlyn is among the average citizens chosen to beta test a major company‘s surveillance capabilities by “going zero” as they try to hunt her and the others down. I just loved this and couldn‘t put it down—it‘s wildly entertaining and races along then went somewhere I wasn‘t expecting. Very topical in our era of questions about privacy and availability of info online.

Cy Baxter, a wunderkind is poised on the cusp of initiating the biggest public-private enterprise: data mining virtually every online stream for all the private details about individuals. The CIA is an excited partner, seeing it as their way onto US soil. Ten Americans (Zeros) have volunteered to attempt to evade Fusion for a big payout. Zero 10 has another agenda, and she may bring the project to its knees. A bit like a comic book but engaging.

Ugh!!! I'm sure I would have liked this twenty years ago. Flat characters, the motives of the MCs are pretty obvious.

Reads like a script for a film

This is a very entertaining techno-thriller by a very successful screenwriter. A company has developed a surveillance program and to demonstrate it's capabilities they are running a contest. 10 people have 30 days to stay hidden to win $3,000,000. We follow a woman who proves very difficult to find and we learn her reasons for taking part have nothing to do with money. I really enjoyed the story and the main character & would love a sequel. 4.5/5
