Ren Mittal's last memory in the year 1996 is getting on a bus to visit his mystery pen pal Georgia. When he wakes up in 2122, he thinks he might be hallucinating...he's not!
Tech conglomerate Chronotech sponsors a time-travel program to help students in 2122 learn what history was really like...from real-life subjects who've been transported into the future...and Ren is one of them.
In 2122, Ren's life in the 1990s is practically ancient history - and Ren's not sure how to feel about that. On top of it all, he learns that his memory will be wiped of all things 2122 before he's sent back to the '90s. Adding to Ren's complicated feels, he's forming a crush on his student guide, Mars.
And when he crosses paths with the absolute last person he expected to see in the future, he has a bigger problem on his hands: What if Chronotech isn't the benevolent organization they claim to be, and he and his fellow subjects are in great danger.

I like a good graphic novel, and having some spare time and a new graphic novel instore, I decided to read Project Nought. The premise is that Ren, finds himself removed from 1996 and plopped into 2122, where he is expected to give firsthand knowledge to students learning history from those living it. Things begin to get complicated as Ren develops feelings for his partner, all the while knowing that his memory will be erased at the end of the trip and deposited back in his own time. Don't worry if you're not into romances as while there are feelings developing (and things are a lot less 'straight' in the future), there is a conspiracy to uncover and solve.
There's a good mix of romance, humour, mystery and danger going on here, a decent sci-fi read and I like that it is local in its setting (New Zealand and Australia) as we don't have enough graphic novels set here in good ol' NZ. The ending is a bit of a plot hole when it comes to its sci-fi element, so if you're very nitpicky when it comes to this, give the book a skip, but if you're not too fussed then you will still enjoy it. The illustrations in this are very well done, nice, crisps and neat. I feel like this will be a good graphic novel for teens wanting a well written story with a range of personalities and a decent plot twist at the end.
