Genesis (Paperback Int. Edition)

Data is the new gold.

The average person produces two to three gigabytes of it. Daily. Today, everyone has become a potential target of a digital attack. Transparent. Predictable. Ready to be exploited.

Within the corporate walls of Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft, a group of ruthless hardliners is planning a coup to become the most powerful entity in the digital world. Meanwhile, international stock markets are in free fall. The old economy is struggling to keep pace with the speed of the crypto scene and to somehow counter the ongoing loss of trust. They, too, have their own plans to stop the free fall - firing with everything they have left.

Unnoticed by the rest of the world, a group of highly skilled developers is on the verge of literally programming a revolution. Their plan seems unstoppable - until it attracts the attention of the wrong people just before the code's release.

While diplomacy on one side reaches its limits, war is already raging elsewhere. The disaster is no longer confined to the internet -

a dangerously volatile chaos threatens to erupt in the real world as well.

"Brilliantly crafted, this thriller feels like it's ripped from today's headlines - impossible to put down."
