Description
Zone One is a dark and surreal exploration of a post-apocalyptic world. A pandemic has devastated the planet, separating humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected. As Manhattan slowly begins to be resettled, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out the remaining infected "stragglers". Mark Spitz, a member of one of these taskforces, embarks on a mission to remove malfunctioning zombies over three surreal days.
As he undertakes this mundane yet perilous task, Spitz must also contend with the rigours of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder and come to terms with a fallen world. But when things start to go terribly wrong, the boundaries between reality and chaos begin to blur.
This haunting and humorous novel is a dark futuristic satire that explores the human condition in the face of unimaginable disaster.
