I'll put it next of my "to-read list".

I'm currently over half way in the "Enemies Foreign & Domestic" by an ex-Navy Seal.

Amazon had (has?) a free Kindle version. Great read.

Outstanding book - great introduction into modern-day distopian fiction.

"Patriots" and "Lucifer's Hammer" as previously mentioned are tops in the Genre.

"Molon Labe" by Boston T Party is not a distopia, but equally thrilling and will give your heart a kick.

Try "Lights Out" as well. I liked that one a little better.

I'm 2/3 the way through it right now. It gives you a lot to think about, especially about how quickly difficult decisions would have to be made.

I hold small hope of the people around these parts organizing anywhere near this level of rational decision making. Imagine all the people on anti-depressants these days de-toxing at the same time? Yikes!

I wonder what this event (that happened in 1859) would do to electronics today?

Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases even shocking telegraph operators.[5] Telegraph pylons threw sparks and telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire.[6] Some telegraph systems appeared to continue to send and receive messages despite having been disconnected from their power supplies.[7]

Lights Out is a great read and for a while it was available on line for free over at Frugal Squirrel's forum until the patriot fiction forum was taken down.

Light out is a good read and so is One Second After
