The Net , the universal computer network of the year 2080, collapses unexpectedly and completely. Chaos starts to reign all over the world. Millions of people die, billions are in danger. Is there a way out? Yes, it is necessary to commit a terrorist attack in the past, in 2021! What happens if the network fail in a future completely neworked society, particularly if this failure does not last minutes but years? This novel describes shockingly what would happen in such a case, from problems with basics like food to the collapse of civilization, ending in turmoil, looting and complete anarchy. It is good to know that some people see the danger in many current developments and try to combat them. This novel in the Xperts Collection continues the story of Marcus and his team in a surprising fashion and provides much food for serious thoughts and discussions, while reading like a thriller. Thorsten Ries, Trier The Internet has been the target of attacks already a number of times. Large- scale blackouts have happened on all continents. Thus, the scenario presented is more than likely: that at some stage, a complete breakdown of the (future) Internet will happen, dragging electricity supplies and other essentials down with it. No doubt the consequences would be dramatic. But nobody seems to really try to face and solve the problems. What would happen is described in this thriller, warning of too much technology without taking appropriate measures. But it does more: it actually shows what measures could and should be taken to avoid such a future catastrophy. We can only hope that enough people will read this book and will exert enough pressure to bring about the necessary changes in our society. Else Staglischnig, Villach This is better than Orwell! A realistic threat to mankind is presented in this fast moving, exciting book.but, as incredible as it sounds when one reads the book, it also shows with an ingenious trick a way out of the chaos. An exciting novel? Sure. But also a lesson for everyone interested in serious consequences of technology and ways to combat them. Frank Novotny, Wien
