This propulsive, visceral, tech-rich tale is both all head and all heart – Caroline Kepnes, author of the Netflix smash hit You

The blockbuster thriller from New York Times bestseller David Yoon.

Sometimes you have to break the world in order to fix it…

Max is fortunate enough to be employed by Wren, the world’s most powerful social media company. He works in a sprawling campus made of glass on a project so secret he can tell no one about it.

But one day he discovers something sinister going on beneath the surface of the company. A terrible secret that makes him rethink not only his work but also the true consequences of modern technology.

When Max is fired from Wren for asking the wrong questions, he joins up with his two best friends to form Version Zero, a top-secret group with a simple goal: break the internet and build something better and kinder in its place…
