In 1958, a group of American engineers secretly designed a city unlike anything humanity had ever built.
The project was called Blueprint Zero.
The plans disappeared before construction began.
More than sixty years later, architectural historian Claire Morgan discovers an original blueprint hidden inside a forgotten university archive. At first, she assumes it is an ambitious Cold War experiment. But the more she studies it, the more disturbing the design becomes.
The city contains transportation systems that resemble modern autonomous vehicles, buildings that generate their own energy, artificial ecosystems, automated medical centers, and underground infrastructure decades ahead of its time.
Then Claire discovers the final structure.
A massive underground facility marked simply:
DO NOT BUILD.
When satellite images reveal that someone has secretly begun constructing Blueprint Zero in the Nevada desert, Claire realizes the project never truly disappeared.
Someone has been waiting decades to finish it.
And whatever the original scientists discovered beneath the city may determine whether Blueprint Zero becomes humanity's greatest achievement—or its final mistake.
