Spannende, rasante Story, die dank großer Hintergrundrecherche realitätsnah wirkt.
Leider bleiben die Figuren blass und ohne Charakter Entwicklung.

This was a tad too realistic for my taste but it was also very thrilling and I get why so many people like the book. It took me a while to get into the story and the frequent changes of POV and I’d wish there would have been a bit more depth in regard of what the characters are feeling and how society as a whole collapses.

Sehr interessante Story - man macht sich erstmal klar, was alles an der Elektrizität hängt und kommt schon ins Grübeln. Allerdings werden für meinen Geschmack etwas zu viele Charaktere eingeführt. Und die Wende kurz vor Schluss mit dem "Showdown" zwischen "Gut" und "Böse" fand ich auch ein bissle konstruiert. Interessant zu lesen ist es aber trotzdem - besonders wahrscheinlich für IT-mässig etwas informiertere Leute als ich es bin. Würde es aber trotzdem empfehlen und werde wohl auch in das neue Buch des Autors mal hereinlesen.
