Description
Clock Zero beautifully captures the existentialist struggle of this generation. A master stroke of wit and suspense, Clock Zero sheds light on the dark side of an always-connected world: smartphone addiction, digital self-absorption, global terrorism, and Silicon Valley’s unfettered quest to generate ever more profits at the expense of our humanity.
Marketing Plan
I'm very much interested in a bottom up marketing approach consisting of word of mouth, reviews on relevant sites such as Amazon and Goodreads, and giveaways of signed paperback books on various venues. I'm hopeful the NetGalley community will assist in this effort.
Clock Zero has the potential to become a cult book, and potentially a movie. I'm pursuing venues to turn the book into a motion picture.

Featured Reviews
The book reads like a script for an action movie and honestly would make a great movie. It starts off very action packed, the dialogue is believable and its very descriptive so you can already see this playing out in your head like a movie. It’s REALLY descriptive, the author made sure to leave practically nothing to the imagination as they created the whole world right for you on these pages.
The way the author writes I can’t help wondering if it’s written by a millennial or someone who has way too much experience with them and not the good kind. The dialogue is written very well but at times it almost seems a cliché of what you hear people complain millennials sounds like which may be the whole point actually.
I had to laugh at the description of needing ‘likes’ on social media because I’m pretty sure I have had those days. I thought most of it was funny actually, the way he writes, he descriptions of his job, his thoughts on customers and people he has to interact with, I found myself laughing quite a bit.
I have a brother who talks a lot like this so I guess I’m more used to the way this is coming off than other people so I didn’t have a problem with the book. I took it as satire and a funny self-depreciation view on society’s social media addiction.
does fiction have to make you think to be good? no but it's a bonus. this book is smart without being overly cerebral and has some dark humour throughout
this title feature likable characters and a fast paced plot the fact the reader may rethink the amount of time they spend on social media is a bonus.
