ZeroClick is when the system removes friction in order to hijack control before you make a choice. From Big Tech interfaces to biological parasites, from social manipulations to your own psyche — one protocol, different substrates. You do not press — someone already pressed for you. The only question is whether you will notice it.

About the Book
Three riddles.
24 December 2013 Amazon obtains a patent for anticipatory shipping. The goods leave the warehouse before you click "Buy". You haven't decided yet — the truck is already on its way.
- French bacteriologists find a parasite in rodent tissues. A hundred years later it turns out: it reflashes the fears of mice, making them seek out cats. The mouse walks into the jaws voluntarily.
- A psychologist describes a technique by which abusers intercept a complaint before the victim has time to voice it. The partner cries — and your click is cancelled.
What do a patent, a parasite, and a psychological technique have in common?
ZeroClick is a mechanics that removes friction. The system (technology, parasite, manipulator, corporation, state, your own backend) hijacks control before you have time to make a choice.
You do not press — they press for you.
You do not choose — someone already chose for you.
You do not deliver a bite — your bite was intercepted before you opened your mouth.
This pylon has seven halls and a cluster finale. From Big Tech interfaces to biological parasitism. From social manipulations to chess time trouble. From corporate ritual to state control. And finally — to where the most dangerous hijack occurs inside you.
One protocol. Different substrates.
The question at the end: If the system removes all obstacles from your path — is it taking care of you or taking away your last click?
How do you tell one from the other?

About the Author
Lenny Rosky
Programmer. 40+ years building systems that were required to keep running.
Chess is a measuring instrument for me, not a hobby: around 2700 tactics rating on chess.com, roughly 147,000 puzzles solved. A puzzle is the only laboratory I know where the price of a wrong decision is presented immediately and admits no excuses. That's where the habit came from: look for the evidence that kills your idea first, and only then for the evidence that supports it.
"Planet 2E+" is an attempt to describe, with a single set of instruments, how any system allocates its resources, what it does when it hits a wall, and what remains of it once the carrier dies. Empires, viruses, corporations, chess positions — the same three axes.
Eight books released in one week are not eight books. They are one body of work cut along its seams. Read them in any order; ZeroClick is the easiest place to start.
No mysticism, no motivation. Engineering register, teardown only.
