'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

'With Version Zero David Yoon holds up a mirror to our ways of life, our hardships and vulnerabilities. This propulsive, visceral, tech-rich tale is both all head and all heart , which is to say, it's all David Yoon' Caroline Kepnes, author of You

'Is David Yoon the new voice of the techno-thriller? On this evidence, you bet!' Paul Finch

'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

'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

'Extraordinary . . . a beautifully layered novel' New York Times
