Zero K is a thought-provoking novel by acclaimed American author Don DeLillo. Blending philosophical reflection with speculative science, the book explores themes of mortality, technology and the human desire to control the future.
Jeffrey Lockhart's father, Ross, is a wealthy billionaire who has invested heavily in a secretive and remote facility dedicated to an extraordinary idea preserving human bodies after death until science can restore them to life.
At this mysterious compound, death is carefully orchestrated and those who choose to enter cryogenic suspension believe they may one day return to a transformed future.
When Jeff visits the facility, he discovers that among those preparing to undergo the process is Artis, Ross's younger wife, whose health is failing. As Jeff confronts the strange world surrounding this promise of technological immortality, he must grapple with profound questions about life, death and what it means to be human.
Written in DeLillo's distinctive and reflective style, Zero K is a powerful meditation on mortality, identity and the future of humanity.
