A chilling tale of what the world would look like if suddenly, out of the blues, there was No Electricity. And this means no battery powered devices, nothing. All electronic chips "fried".
The bleak, morbid and scary picture painted by the author is more so true for America than any other nation, but still the disastrous effects would be similar for most of the other nations.

Another thing that caught me by surprise was the author's writing skills , especially in case of a depressing scene. I found myself actually experiencing some of the scenes in the book and could feel what the characters must be feeling right then.

I think this is a good read.
