What did I read?!

For a 2013 novel, it captured perfectly one worse, not worst, possible scenario of a CyberStorm. There were also countless of very useful survival "tips" (if we can call it that), how we should not forget our humanity (contrary to the common depiction in post-apocalyptic fiction that we all turn cold killers), and the importance of a mesh network—a technology with us for years but we're still ignoring.

Let's not forget the deep philosophical discussions of the characters. The different inclinations of the people in this story representing the different stand of you and me on real-life. How it also forces us to face the reality of our assumptions, judgemental society; these and more are all present in this novel.

It's December 19, 2018; are we capable of preventing this from happening? Are we ready to live through it and survive if it does happen?
