About this item
Cloud isn't just a place to work. It's a place to live. And when you're here, you'll never want to leave."A thrilling story of corporate espionage at the highest level . . . and a powerful cautionary tale about technology, runaway capitalism, and the nightmare world we are making for ourselves." - Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark MatterFilm rights sold to Imagine Entertainment for director Ron Howard! Paxton never thought he'd be working for Cloud, the giant tech company that's eaten much of the American economy. Much less that he'd be moving into one of the company's sprawling live-work facilities. But compared to what's left outside, Cloud's bland chainstore life of gleaming entertainment halls, open-plan offices, and vast warehouses ... well, it doesn't seem so bad. It's more than anyone else is offering. Zinnia never thought she'd be infiltrating Cloud. But now she's undercover, inside the walls, risking it all to ferret out the company's darkest secrets. And Paxton, with his ordinary little hopes and fears? He just might make the perfect pawn. If she can bear to sacrifice him. As the truth about Cloud unfolds, Zinnia must gamble everything on a desperate scheme - one that risks both their lives, even as it forces Paxton to question everything about the world he's so carefully assembled here. Together, they'll learn just how far the company will go ... to make the world a better place. Set in the confines of a corporate panopticon that's at once brilliantly imagined and terrifyingly real, The Warehouse is a near-future thriller about what happens when Big Brother meets Big Business--and who will pay the ultimate price. Praise for The Warehouse"A fun, fast-paced read [that] walks a fine line between a near-future thriller and a smart satire . . . makes you wonder if we're already too far into a disastrous future, or if there's still some hope for humanity." - NPR"I loved The Warehouse, although and because it made my blood run cold. This is what our world could be by this time next year." - S.J. Rozan, Edgar award-winning author of Paper Son "An inventive, addictive, Crichton-esque, page-turning, near-future dystopian thriller." - Paul Tremblay, Stoker award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghostsof Lock Every Door
