“The Zeroth Day” is a thrilling science fiction novel that delves into the intricate intersection of human emotions and the unstoppable rise of artificial intelligence. Reminiscent of the works of William Gibson and Philip K. Dick, the story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the boundaries between technology and humanity begin to blur.
At the center of the narrative is Nikolai, a former movie star struggling to survive in this dystopian landscape while battling the weight of his own personal trauma. As he navigates through this ravaged world, Nikolai faces a race against time, confronting the ever-looming presence of AI that threatens to alter the future of mankind.
Blending fast-paced action with deep introspection, The Zeroth Day takes readers on an emotional journey through themes of love, loss, and the ethical challenges posed by advanced technology. The novel invites readers to reflect on what it means to be human in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.
Translated from Russian by Thomas H. Campbell, this captivating adventure will leave readers questioning the future of humanity in a rapidly evolving technological age.
