O-Zone

by Paul Theroux · 1986

+ Want to read

It's New Year in paranoid, computer-rich New York, and a group of Owners has jet-rotored out to party in O-Zone.

New York is a sealed city. Visits to the eerie, radioactive wasteland of O-Zone are now rarer than moon landings. The people dumped there, 'aliens', officially do not exist. For Hooper Allbright and Fizzy, Theroux's futuristic Robinson Crusoes, the trip sets in motion an adventure of undreamed-of desire and terror.
