Introduction

"The intro hooked me with a riveting description of some of the science behind the novel, and once I got into the story, I couldn’t put it down."--Amazon 5-star Review

Alix Principio was born with a number. A bloody number 1 etched on his chest the moment he was pulled from his mother’s body.

Within the city of Nox, formerly known as New York City, an authoritarian state called One has sprung from the ashes of the deadliest plague humanity has ever seen. Every human is now born with a number etched on their chest. It increases painfully every day, the direct consequence of a rushed vaccine that saved humanity from extinction.

But Alix has an even bigger problem. His number is growing at more than twice the rate of everyone else’s, a reality that threatens his very life. Desperate to slow his number growth and find answers to the larger mysteries in his family, Alix discovers a secret, black-market treatment—the only thing rumored to erase all numbers.

The only problem is that it’s dangerous, irreversible, and every person who gets it is hunted by the government that criminalized it and keeps it hidden.

But when faced with his demise and the lies he’s been told, the treatment could be the least of Alix’s fears.

One thing is certain. It has the power to change everything he knows about being human.

Chapter One
CIRCA 2200 CE
ALIX PRINCIPIO


I was born with a number.
Not the kind that’s written nicely on a stack of papers by a nurse at the hospital. Mine was etched on my chest, bleeding, blazing, and burning with the smell of newborn skin as I was pulled out of my mother’s cervix. ... view entire excerpt...

Discussion Questions

From the author:

1. If Zeropoint was an allegory, what would the number represent? What would the zero represent?

2. In which ways has our current world paradigm suppressed knowledge and empowerment among humanity?

3. In Part III, Eden Principio, Alix’s mother, along with Lana and Mario Principio, comes to him while he is hallucinating and about to receive the Starlink treatment by force. Eden tells her son that Vida has not yet remembered who she is. What do you think she meant by this?

4. The Creators have abilities of bringing matter from the thought dimension into the physical world, an ability they call “opening matter.” How much of this ability do you think is possible in our lifetimes?

5. Why do you think Alix ultimately comes to his decision to choose the Zeroes over his sister?

6. In which personal ways does Zeropoint make you reflect about your own life? ?
