Don DeLillo is a guarantee for a good story, and Zero K didn't disappoint me.
Original, intriguing, and splendidly written.

Another DeLillo masterpiece. A great book for readers new to DeLillo, but an extra treat for readers of DeLillo's previous works.

In Zero K, with anticipatory verve, Elon Musk types offer themselves as guinea pigs. The conceit is giving up one’s current life for a distant hope of unseen, unproven eternal life, merely a rearranging of factors seen in religious devotees. No surprise that late capitalism’s god summons altars for the true seekers, sans necessity of a deity. The wealthy are afforded (fully intended) the opportunity to preserve one’s body and mind for an as-yet-unready future. Zero K is fun little Bladerunner-ish escape into the dreary possibilities of wealth as the determinant for human progress and achievement. Every DeLillo sentence is worth reading.

Zero K follows Jeffrey, a privileged young man coasting through life on a series of white-collar jobs, largely due to his rich father's connections. At the start of the novel, Jeffrey's father, Ross, tells him he is taking his terminally ill wife (Jeffrey's stepmother) to The Convergence, a secretive, secure facility that freezes people to preserve them for the future.
The first half of the novel is an excellent and perceptive summary of Jeffrey's experiences with the technology, philosophy, and quirky characters of The Convergence, from lecturers to spiritual advisors. Death of body and spirit are reflected everywhere, from the institutional, homogenous quarters to the disorienting nonlinear "veer" elevators, lack of natures, screens depicting catastrophes, and other morbidity.
Jeffrey in the real world is not as revealing or insightful, but his time at the Convergence is a compelling meditation on life, survival, and the ethics of technology. Cory Doctorow's The Walkaway comes at these issues from another very creative angle.
If civilization does break down, who will have the wherewithal or interest in reviving or at least preserving these frozen heads?
