Zero K

Jeffrey Lockhart’s father, Ross, is a billionaire in his sixties, with a younger wife, Artis, whose health is failing. Ross is the primary investor in a remote and secret compound where death is exquisitely controlled and bodies are preserved until a future time when biomedical advances and new technologies can return them to a life of transcendent promise. Jeff joins Ross and Artis at the compound to say “an uncertain farewell” to her as she surrenders her body.

Don DeLillo’s seductive, spectacularly observed and brilliant new novel weighs the darkness of the world against the beauty and humanity of everyday life. It is a glorious, soulful work from one of the great writers of our time.
