Outlaw artists wage war on Big Tech to reclaim San Francisco for themselves. Fight Club meets Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow in this debut technothriller.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Turner’s debut novel is centered around characters with complicated intentions and versatile skills, where alliances are questionable, and manipulation is a powerful tool. Conniving characters with wavering alliances take center stage in this technothriller. Turner's characters think for themselves and are driven by external forces and will appeal to the emotions of readers as they attempt to break the system. 9 out of 10." — Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize

Anarchist impresario Leo wages war on Bay Area Big Tech with his guerrilla art organization, the Chaos Order. After being arrested for sabotaging the VR game company HERE's property, Leo's closest followers, Evan and Lydia, take two different paths. Evan joins HERE to avoid legal consequences and to bring the spirit of the Chaos Order to the world through a revolutionary immersive narrative game. Lydia plunges deeper into her relationship with the increasingly unstable Leo, whose revenge against Evan brings the Order into rising conflict with HERE. Told from Evan's and Lydia's alternating points of view, Zone Trip weaves through Leo's psychological manipulation of his followers, Evan's defection to the enemy's side, and the devastating consequences of Lydia's love for the Pan-like Leo.

What sets ZONE TRIP apart from other technothrillers is its nuanced exploration of its characters' complex motivations and inner lives. Rather than relying on easy plot devices or stereotypical characterizations, ZONE TRIP challenges readers to grapple with the messy, contradictory, and often uncomfortable realities of human agency in a world dominated by technology. With its fast-paced narrative and emotionally resonant characters, ZONE TRIP is a unique and compelling addition to the technothriller genre.
