Sometimes the worst storms aren't from Mother Nature, and sometimes the worst nightmares aren't the ones in our heads.
Mike Mitchell, an average New Yorker already struggling to keep his family together, suddenly finds himself fighting just to keep them alive when an increasingly bizarre string of disasters starts appearing on the world's news networks. As both the real world and the cyberworld come crashing down, bending perception and reality, a monster snowstorm cuts New York off from the world, turning it into a wintry tomb where nothing is what it seems.
Anyone who enjoys insightful, cutting-edge fiction mixed with action and adventure won't want to miss CyberStorm.
Not many cyber disaster books get it. But he nailed it. Combination of dystopian fiction and real world racism with a touch of bad media reporting thrown in the mix. Great read. ( )
What if the Internet broke? If you ever wondered what a cyber war might look like this is an interesting book. It is a first hand account of what a fictional family in Manhattan goes through during a cyber event when the Internet fails. If you think you are prepared for a disaster, you are not. Things you don't even think about like toilets and safe drinking water. What would you eat for 30 days if there was no power to keep food fresh. How about disease in a heavily populated area? It is scary. You may become a prepper after reading this.
I saw this book as more nonfiction but using a fictional family to make it more understandable. That is why I only rated it a 3 because it really isn't a novel. It can really get bogged down in techno jargon, which for me was interesting until it wasn't.
Definitely worth a read if you want to know more about cyber threats. ( )
I am laying the book down for now as for some reason it is dragging for me. I am not finding any thrills within the pages. Maybe I will pick it back up somewhere down the road. Putting it on my dnf shelf. ( )

"You can't protect freedom by giving it away. "
"The criminals force society to improve. They weed out the weak, making us strengthen our institutions and networks."
This cyberwar felt like it had nothing to do with the future but was a part of the past, as if we were burrowing backwards into human's unending ability to inflict suffering upon one another.
She was from a different generation. I guessed the machines weren't a part of them like they were for us.
The law had been broken, but not order. Rules were designed to maintain a community, and in this moment, the community needed to break the rules to survive.
"...No privacy means no civil liberty means no freedom...."
I'd always thought it was the human brain that had enabled us to conquer the planet, but really it was our stomachs and our ability to eat almost anything.
Everything was interconnected, and big cities relied on intricate systems working perfectly all the time. When they didn't , people began to die very quickly.
A generation ago, to contain the terrifying danger of nuclear weapons, politicians anf militaries had created rules of engagement based on deterrence. But there was no similar protocol for dealing with cyberattacks. What was the blast radius of a cyberweapon? How would you know who had deployed it?
"We complain about the Chinese and Iranians, but we used advanced cyberweapons, like Stuxnet and Flame, on them first. Can we really be surprised that now they're using them against us?"
"...we're about the most cyber-combustible country on the planet. "
