Description
A man finds himself in a Kafkaesque nightmare when he is inexplicable kidnapped. Elliott Gast is married, an ex-government bureaucrat, and enjoying himself in Brussels, networking with tech executives, when he is unceremoniusly snatched from the street--kidnapped. He is taken to a high floor in a deserted highrise somewhere in Belgium and confined in a totally empty, white apartment. Even the windows are painted over in white. Like an Orwellian torture chamber, it is always light bcecause, as Elliott will learn, the black cables dnagling from the ceiling and elsewhere, are cameras broadcasting his ordeal worldwide on the boundless internet. Anyone can tune in at will. He is a digitized castaway., a lonely survivor watched by millions as he is dealt with by his captors who are convinced he is to blame. For what, he asks, as they come for him.
