When the Internet goes down, he suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive.

Mike and his close friends and family hunker down in their apartment building for safety, organizing and rationing food and water. Outside, the boundaries between lawful and criminal behaviour break down as resources become scarce. With the threat to their safety growing, Mike and his family pin their hopes on fleeing the city for the countryside.But as the world and cyberworld come crashing down, New York is suddenly cut off, turning the city into a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems, and where no one can be trusted . . .

"I am a retired IT professional and enjoyed reading fiction books that portrayed possible cyberattacks. This book was like that. Unfortunately I learned today we lost this great writer on September 13th to a automobile accident. He wrote several science fiction books in addition to this one and I highly recommend you look them up. "
