You know how annoying it is when the power goes out? What if it didn't come back on for days? And days? That's what happens across Europe in this international bestseller. The system governing the power supply has been compromised and attempts to restore it may be damaging the system further. When a former hacker stumbles across what could be some answers, he's met with suspicion by the authorities. As he maintains his innocence and tries to keep working on a solution, the problem continues to grow, with most of the United States now in the dark. With every day that passes, the situation becomes more dire as millions struggle to survive without basic necessities like heat and food. It will make you aware of some of the far-reaching aspects of being without power for an extended time, things you may never have thought about. And hope you never have to. Told from multiple points of view, it's a bit hard to remember who everyone is at first and at times it gets a bit technical, but this chilling book will make you think.
