An exhilarating thrill ride through the underbelly of cyber espionage in the vein of David Ignatius' The Director and the television series Leverage, CSI: Cyber, and Person of Interest, which follows five iconoclastic hackers who are coerced into serving the US government.
An Anonymous-style rabble-rouser, an Arab Spring hacktivist, a black-hat hacker, an old-school cipherpunk, and an online troll are each offered a choice: go to prison or help protect the United States, putting their brains and skills to work for the government for one year.
But being a white hat doesn't always mean you work for the good guys. The would-be cyberspies discover that behind the scenes lurks a sinister NSA program, an artificial intelligence code-named Typhon that has origins and an evolution both dangerous and disturbing. And if it's not brought down, it will soon be uncontrollable.
Can the hackers escape their federal watchers and confront Typhon and its mysterious creator? And what does the government really want them to do? If they decide to turn the tables, will their own secrets be exposed - and their lives erased like lines of bad code?
Combining the scientific-based, propulsive narrative style of Michael Crichton with the eerie atmosphere and conspiracy themes of The X-Files and the imaginative, speculative edge of Neal Stephenson and William Gibson, Zer0es explores our deep-seated fears about government surveillance and hacking in an inventive, fast-paced novel sure to earn Chuck Wendig the widespread acclaim he deserves.

There needs to be a sequel or a trilogy.

This is wired, the most powerful country, the best Military, pretty much the best in it all.
So preppies make absolutely no sense, not in America !!!
‘ FIND ETTER THINGS TO SPEND YOUR
MONEY AT “
I’m guessing that it’s all those guns that you buy start that paranoid cycle and only in America there are more guns then people !
All that waisted money!!!
That’s why I believe that a prepare could have written this book it’s just feet’s.
Any way this book was ok but I didn’t like the ending so much because the whole book was very long, the ending was way to simple, fast and short.
Not bad at all.

The typical "plucky hacker heroes save the world from itself" plot is made fresh and interesting by making said hackers a little conflicted, a little morally questionable, and altogether human. I found myself eventually relating to characters I initially powerfully disliked, which was fun and satisfying.
It is also a nice change for a novel to feature *actual* hacking instead of the improbable "Hollywood hacking" so rampant in fiction. Using real-world rules doesn't slow the action down at all, though--once this coaster gets going, it doesn't slow down until the very end.
For fans of cyberpunk, underdogs, and rampant profanity, Zeroes is a guaranteed good time.

I was drawn to the major characters ,but after a while I just wanted them to get on with it.
Interesting idea -way too slow

I thought this was going to be one more "let's get a bunch of unlikely misfits to clean up our mess" stories. Actually, that is exactly what it is, but it's so well done I couldn't put it down.
Cliff hanger after personal crisis after setback after yet another cliffhanger. I kept thinking the book was building to a climax, then things kept on getting worse.
In case my point isn't clear, I really, really like this book and strongly recommend that you read it.
It would make a fantastic movie. I hope there are plans for that.
Holy crap!
