Summary
‘A sharp, thoughtful exploration of the pursuit of dreams, of greatness, and the cost of success . . . Unputdownable’ Weike Wang, author of Chemistry
'I think we’d forget how to be human, though. If we lived forever.' She said it without looking at him.
'Why do you say that?'
She sighed through her nose. She looked sad. Then she smiled, turned to him, and said, 'Don’t you always work better on a deadline?'He laughed. I love you, he thought.
Meet Zoe. Professor’s daughter, star student, golden girl, but she’s never sparkled as brightly in her parents’ eyes as her older brother, Alex.
Meet Jack. Aloof, unkempt, utterly brilliant, he’s clawed his way from poverty to Harvard’s ivory towers, but he’s as far from the relationships and validation his childhood denied him as he is from home.
Their star-crossed story begins in organic chemistry. Zoe wants to beat him, but Jack wants to join her. Neither knows it yet, but in two years’ time, they will have dropped out of college to become business partners in a company that promises longer life, worth over a billion dollars.
But as they become wrapped up in a maelstrom of venture capital pitches, Ted Talks and Vogue front covers, they also discover the perils of insatiable ambition, greed and ultimately deceit, testing their love for each other to its very limit.
