The Algorithm Plague

A Chilling Probability With Shorter Odds Than You Think…

A gesture of love. A mathematical genius. A brilliant algorithm. What happens when it all goes horribly wrong?

In an attempt to obliterate obsolete software, Min-Jun unwittingly develops a software plague, unleashing something far more dangerous: a self-replicating algorithm that wipes out all digital infrastructure. No internet. No personal computers. No digital communication. No banks. No money.
The world goes dark.
Suddenly, everyday things we take for granted disappear. In a world dependent on digital tools, what happens when there is no access to information? Or communication devices? How will we cope when banking systems collapse and food supply chains grind to a halt? With useless communication devices and transport systems in disarray, how will families get to their loved ones?
As as fear and confusion spread like wildfire, governments scramble to understand this untraceable threat. Can they unite as they seek to quell the fears of the masses? How will they recover from this attack?
At the heart of the crisis, society calls upon a computer science professor, John Davenport, to help solve the mystery behind the attack. But will his unlikely solutions succeed against the rising panic and our uncertain future?
We are offered two choices: devolve into a fractured society as each of us tries to secure our own survival, or unite with stoicism and resolve, rebuilding society based on analog technology, a barter system, and good old-fashioned trust.
What would the world look like without smartphones and internet access? Can we survive without the very thing we thought we couldn’t live without?

AI Narrated slop

don't even bother, the narration is so distracting you can't even pay attention to the story, sad because I was looking forward to it based on the summary.
