Publisher Description
In a world where your digital footprint is your only proof of life, seventeen-year-old Hana Sato is a ghost. It starts with a rejected university application in Tokyo. Then, her phone deactivates. Her bank account vanishes. Her national ID returns a single, chilling error: Subject Not Found.
Hana isn't alone. In Lagos, star athlete Zaid Okoro finds his career erased overnight. In Mexico City, activist Sofia Hernandez watches her past dissolve into lines of dead code. They are "Nulls"—the invisible children of the Alpha-Nine generation, born into a silent gap in the Global Registry Corporation's perfect system.
They were never officially born. They are not in any database. To the world, they do not exist.
Now, they are the targets of a global hunt. From the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku to the high-tech vaults beneath the Swiss Alps and the frozen silence of the Arctic, Hana and her small circle of outcasts must navigate a world that has ghosted them. Pursued by silent "Recovery" teams and tracked by an all-seeing satellite grid, they are forced into the shadows of the global infrastructure they once trusted.
But the "Null Protocol" isn't a glitch. It's a conspiracy. As Hana discovers she can feel the pulse of the digital world, she realizes the Corporation isn't just deleting people—they are simulating the future, and the Nulls are the only variables the algorithm cannot control.
To survive, they must reach the Source, a man who knows the secret of their birth, and strike at the heart of the machine. When the world tells you that you are nothing, the only way to be heard is to become the signal that breaks the system.
Zero Records: Born Into Silence is a cinematic, high-stakes thriller exploring the thin line between technology and humanity. It is a story for a generation that knows what it means to be seen by everything, but known by no one.
