Zero Latency: The Race for Instant Everything

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In a world that never slows down, speed has become the ultimate currency. Zero Latency takes readers inside the global push to eliminate delay—from financial markets chasing nanosecond trades to surgeons relying on remote robotics, from virtual reality’s demand for seamless immersion to the quest for instant global communication.

David Hooper reveals how the race for real-time everything is reshaping industries, geopolitics, and even human expectations of patience and presence. Yet with breathtaking speed come hidden costs: infrastructural fragility, widening inequalities, and the erosion of reflection in a world addicted to immediacy.

Urgent, insightful, and thought-provoking, Zero Latency shows us how the pursuit of instant connection is transforming not just technology, but the very rhythm of modern life.
