He got it right

Not many cyber disaster books get it. But he nailed it. Combination of dystopian fiction and real world racism with a touch of bad media reporting thrown in the mix. Great read. ( )

I frightening view of a possible future as weather extremes increase and cyber attacks also increase. ( )

Not as good as some other survival fiction but better than others. The writing is a little stiff but a pretty solid read.

What if the Internet broke? If you ever wondered what a cyber war might look like this is an interesting book. It is a first hand account of what a fictional family in Manhattan goes through during a cyber event when the Internet fails. If you think you are prepared for a disaster, you are not. Things you don't even think about like toilets and safe drinking water. What would you eat for 30 days if there was no power to keep food fresh. How about disease in a heavily populated area? It is scary. You may become a prepper after reading this.

I saw this book as more nonfiction but using a fictional family to make it more understandable. That is why I only rated it a 3 because it really isn't a novel. It can really get bogged down in techno jargon, which for me was interesting until it wasn't.

Definitely worth a read if you want to know more about cyber threats. ( )

I am laying the book down for now as for some reason it is dragging for me. I am not finding any thrills within the pages. Maybe I will pick it back up somewhere down the road. Putting it on my dnf shelf. ( )
