Cell - Stephen King

Did I ever mention that I like horror?

And if you like horror, you'll be a reader of Stephen King.






His novel CELL is quite disturbing. It's about cell phones and a interference signal (the Pulse) which changes human beings into zombies ...

'Civilization slipped into its second dark age on an unsurprising track of blood but with a speed that could not have been foreseen by even the most pessimistic futurist. By Halloween, every major city from New York to Moscow stank to the empty heavens and the world as it had been was a memory.' The event became known as The Pulse. The virus was carried by every cell phone operating within the entire world. Within ten hours, most people would be dead or insane.

It is fiction, but you can't help thinking about the possibilites and how much of it could come true.
