A Murder at the End of the World

A Murder at the End of the World continues in the tradition. Protagonist Darby Hart (Emma Corrin) is a young amateur sleuth and hacker in the Lisbeth Salander mode who gets invited by a reclusive tech billionaire, Andy Ronson (Clive Owen), to participate in a symposium on the future of humanity at his remote bunker-resort in Iceland. In attendance is a small coterie of handpicked geniuses — a roboticist (Ryan J. Haddad), a smart-city expert (Joan Chen), an astronaut (Alice Braga), and so on — along with Ronson’s own staff and family, which includes his wife, Lee Andersen (Marling, characteristically ethereal), a hacker of some prominence who’s long disappeared from public view, and their inexplicably named young son Zoomer (Kellan Tetlow). — Nicholas Quah, “Something’s Missing From A Murder at the End of the World”
