Zero Percenters
Would you sacrifice your humanity to live free from pain and suffering?
Conservationist Anja Lapin always stood firm against her father's profiteering. But in her wildest dreams, she never guessed his tech company would stumble on an algorithm enabling humans to digitize their bodies and secure artificial immortality.
Before Anja can stage a protest, terrorists take out the research team, along with her father. Billions adopt the new technology in record time, lured by an eternity free from pain and filled with pleasure--even if it means losing a few pieces of their identity.
Anja finds she's one of the last two flesh and blood humans remaining on Earth. But while her worries turn to the future of consciousness, her father's rival plots to hijack the network of digitized people and claim ultimate control.
Can Anja counter the attack and safeguard a brave new stage of human evolution?

This book was wonderfully written... an excellent read for fans of realistic science fiction.
--Manhattan Book Review
Like Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End or Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land, Zero Percenters is another articulate voice advocating for continuation of life because of its joys and the inexpressible experience of existence. The book is populated with very human characters, even the AI "concierges," self-aware constructs charged with caring for their human counterparts.
--BlueInk Review
Zero Percenters is philosophical science fiction--a novel take on what it means to be human. In Scott T. Grusky's science fiction thriller, a young woman grapples with morality as humanity evolves into a digital form.
