'A high-speed, edge of your seat adventure with stakes higher than you can measure, told in David Yoon's unique and singularly engaging prose. VERSION ZERO is an addictive, brain-hacking exploration of the tech-run world we live in, and a rollercoaster so fast it will blow your hair off' Sylvain Neuvel, author of SLEEPING GIANTS 'VERSION ZERO is fast and fun, but more importantly, it's an incisive, thoughtful takedown of Big Tech, our own social media consumption, and ultimately, may just serve as a call to arms' Rob Hart, author of THE WAREHOUSE 'David Yoon's adult debut Version Zero is the Silicon Valley story of your nightmares' Entertainment Weekly 'A must-read: fast-paced and gripping but also beautifully written and nuanced with a fascinating premise that kept me desperate to read the next chapter... and the next...' Louise Mumford 'An unrelenting, diabolical story that will shock and entertain while also revealing the toxicity of the internet as we know it. Yoon tackles heavy issues such as racism, sexism, bullying, and the complicity of the tech bros behind the popular apps that we use today with masterful depth. An exhilarating thriller, but also an unflinching, sometimes highly uncomfortable, study of how broken the internet and its users are. Couldn't put it down!' Jesse Sutanto Praise for David Yoon: 'I loved, loved, LOVED this book, which miraculously manages to be a love story, a treatise on racism, a peek into adolescence, and a welcome to Korean-American culture, all at once' Jodi Picoult 'Extraordinary . . . a beautifully layered novel' New York Times 'Funny, profane and poignant' Wall Street Journal 'Fresh and nuanced' Time 'Yoon's stellar debut expertly and authentically tackles racism, privilege, and characters who are trying to navigate their Korean-American identity' BuzzFeed 'With echoes of John Green and To All the Boys I've Loved Before, it's poised to be the biggest YA debut of the year' Entertainment Weekly
