Mike Mitchell is an average New Yorker struggling just to keep his family together and take care of his two-year-old son when a string of disasters shreds the bustling city around them. The Internet and communication networks go down, just as a monster snowstorm cuts New York off. Days go by without contact to the outside world. Then weeks. In the chaos, conspiracy theories rage about a foreign cyberattack. Was it terrorists? Espionage? The North Koreans? Russians? Chinese? The first shockwave of a global shift in military power? But even these questions become unimportant as Mike and his family struggle for survival in the wintry tomb of a doomed New York. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “BRILLIANT…” — WIRED Magazine FROM THE BACK COVER Based on real-world wargame scenarios, CyberStorm is a classic of science fiction that could forever change the way you look at the modern world we live in.
