“Nafeez Ahmed has mined his extensive background in international security to create a fast-paced thriller that combines conspiracies, terrorism, and cutting-edge technology. Prepare to hold on for a wild ride!”
Radical imaginaries
Nafeez Ahmed is the author of the science fiction thriller ZERO POINT, a novel inspired by true events. Nafeez wrote ZERO POINT to explore themes and issues in his journalism through a medium that could reach a wider audience. The book was a Second Prize Quarterfinalist in the 2012 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award, and was exhibited at the Barbican's 2017 'Into the Unknown: A Journey Through Science Fiction' event.
ZERO POINT is an action thriller which explores a near future dystopian Britain on the brink of political and ecological collapse. It also draws on a number of sources from Nafeez's journalistic background and experiences to build plausible fictional scenarios that mirror, in fantastical ways, issues in the real-world.
