Version Zero
Version Zero | David Yoon
6 posts | 6 read | 9 to read
A lightning fast and scorchingly observant novel of the moment, Version Zero is a thrilling, humorous adult debut from the brilliant mind of New York Times bestselling author David Yoon. Reboot the present. Save the future. Max, a data whiz at the Facebook-like social media company Wren, has gotten a firsthand glimpse of the dark side of big tech. When he starts asking questions about what his company is doing with the data they collect, he finds himself fired...and then blackballed across all of Silicon Valley. With time on his hands and inside knowledge about the biggest tech companies, Max and his longtime friend--and sometime crush--Akiko, decide to get even by...essentially, rebooting the internet. After all, in order to fix things, sometimes you have to break them. But when Max and Akiko join forces with a reclusive tech baron, they learn that breaking things can have unintended--and disastrous--consequences. And those consequences will ripple across the world, effecting every level of society in ways no one could have imagined.

Starting this on the recommendation of a fave patron! Hoping it‘s quiet enough here tonight that I can just chill and read! (Although, ugh, there‘s a non-fave patron here right now making disgusting snorting/spitting/throat-clearing noises. Like, sir, please. 🤢) #versionzero #davidyoon

This darkly satirical take on social media and its impact on society is sometimes funny and sometimes down right depressing. Max, too idealistic for his job, takes action to wake the world from social media's spell. Yet I didn't delete any accounts after reading this book, no matter how entertaining it was. That fact makes me think even more about Max's ultimate choice, and whether it was the right one.
