A somewhat haunting book. Cyberstorm was under the sci-fi area, and well rated, so I borrowed it from Amazon. It was chilling, scary, and worrisome. It also made me glad I don’t live in a big city.
A technical guy, well off, lives in Manhattan. His neighbor is a restauranteur that worries about large scale disaster issues, which is a good thing. When a cyber attack appears to hit the US, cutting power and water, along with a super winter blizzard, the apartment building becomes a nightmare for a number of families as they struggle to help others while surviving. As days turn into weeks, and Manhattan slowly goes back in time as people become tribal, it’s a scary, riveting tale.
At the end it pulls together well, but I could see someone falling into the same patterns, practices, and feelings the writer goes through. Rather amazing.
