ZERO SUM GAME. Boston, Massachusetts. Professor Blaski’s tech start-up is working on the development of an environmentally friendly project that could dramatically affect global energy supply-chains. Its technology, however, can also be used for military purposes, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
When wannabe-writer Zak, prone to PTSD blackouts and caught between hallucinations of his past life and visions of a dystopian future, begins to collaborate on the development of the prototype, things change.
The start-up’s technological breakthrough leads to a surging pre-IPO valuation, which attracts the interests not only of financial groups but also the greed of authoritarian regimes for the control of its know-how.
This triggers a sophisticated but fatal elimination game in a battle for economic survival and geopolitical dominance.
Will Zak come to terms with both a past that haunts him and a future that worries him before all hope is destroyed?
ZERO-SUM GAME is a thought-provoking and entertaining thriller inspired by the ancient Greek philosophy, that catapults us into the future. Rich in politics, finance, and technology, it paints a precise picture of today’s world and raises innumerable questions about what our future may hold.
Morning Call. Ikeda is in search of her own identity. An encounter with a woman in the beautiful setting of the Cyclades opens the door to a world she never thought existed until a photo—taken by chance by a perfect stranger—offers her the opportunity to change her life forever.
Kimberly is just beginning her career in finance. The three minutes she is allowed for a stock market commentary raises her profile to levels unthinkable for a mere junior, forcing her to wrestle with her own insecurities. But when success is near, a glance aimed at the wrong person unexpectedly puts her into a dramatic downward spiral.
Ikeda’s and Kimberly’s stories are set between an insensitive London and a romantic Paris, a stage where the two protagonists' life-paths often touch each other but never cross, until a passionate photographer uncovers the bond that exists between the two vastly different women, becoming part of their lives—and key to their survival.
