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.
