There’s a site here before there’s a finished book. That’s deliberate.

Zero Knowledge is a near-term thriller about three founders whose quantum algorithm breaks classical cryptography, and the choice they have to make about what to do with it. It’s being written in the open - notes, drafts, and the occasional dispatch will land here as the manuscript comes together.

If you found the console, you already know there’s a passphrase hidden in the book. When the book exists, proving you’ve read it will mean exactly what the title says: you can prove you know the secret without ever revealing it.
