Here’s more from the press release: “Zero K follows billionaire Ross Lockhart whose younger wife Artis Martineau has a terminal illness. Ross is a significant investor in a secretive, remote compound where death is controlled and bodies are preserved until medical advances can restore individuals to improved lives. Lockhart hopes Artis can benefit from this pioneering science.”
The publication date for this book has been scheduled for May 03, 2016. DeLillo was recently named the winner of the 2015 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters by the National Book Foundation.
