Five hackers-an Anonymous-style rabble-rouser, an Arab-Spring hacktivist, a black-hat hacker, an old-school cipherpunk, and an online troll-are detained by the U.S. government, forced to work as white-hat hackers for Uncle Sam in order to avoid federal prison. Calling themselves "the Zeroes," they must spend the next year working as an elite cyber-espionage team, at a secret complex known only as "the Lodge."
But once the Zeroes begin to work, they uncover secrets that would make even the most dedicated conspiracy theorist's head spin. And soon they're not just trying to serve their time, they're also trying to perform the ultimate hack: burrowing deep into the U.S. government from the inside, and hoping they'll get out alive.
"This taut thriller will reinforce your paranoia about big government, big data, and that big, nerdy barista who just seems to know too much." Wall Street Journal
"Won't stop blowing your mind until the last page." Daniel H. Wilson, bestselling author of Robopocalypse
