BOOK DESCRIPTION
Now in development for a major motion picture by 20th Century Fox.
Mike Mitchell, an average New Yorker already struggling to keep his family together, suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive when a bizarre string of disasters starts tearing apart the world around them. The Internet goes down. A bird-flu epidemic starts raging. Rumors spread that it's all part of a coordinated foreign attack. And then the power goes out as a monster snowstorm plunges New York into frozen darkness, becoming a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems...and no one can be trusted...
"As a member of the Military that does 'cyber' for his job, finally we see a novel that shows how dangerous our transition to an interconnected infrastructure will become without proper safeguards...I couldn't put down!" - Karic Allegra, Joint Interoperability Command, US NAVY
What caused it? Who caused it? How can it be stopped? These questions become unimportant as Mike's family struggles to survive amid millions of people in the doomed metropolis.
"A chilling prophecy...well written, a must read for any fan of good fiction." - Ian Peterson, Official Book Review, Sci-Fi Readers

REVIEWS
By Adi Sagi
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
After reading Matthew Mather's Atopia, I was anxiously waiting for his new book, and I wasn't disappointed!
This book is about cyber warfare. It illustrates in a very realistic way, what an "all out" cyber warfare can cause, and what can happen when it crosses from cyber into the real world.
How would your life look, if suddenly you didn't have Facebook?
...
How would your life look if the Internet would stop working?
...
Or... If electricity would stop altogether?
I can tell you that when I did put the book down, it really made me think of how MY world would look like if half the things that could happen would happen. It's a real eye-opener.
Anyone who likes Mather's writing would probably like this one.
Anyone who is interested in cyber would definitely like this one.
Again, a hard book to put down, and this one really makes you think of your world, and how fragile it could become in the right (or wrong...) circumstances.
