Started this book yesterday. A European wide blackout caused by black hat hackers.
The whole scenario sounds familiar with last winters warnings about blackouts due to gas shortages. And also the ransomware catastrophe in a German town administration in 2021.
I hope I can still sleep tonight! 😅

Knocked a bunch of titles off my TBR 🥳🙌🏻💕📚
Thanks for hosting this fun monthly challenge @TheAromaofBooks ❤️
pickThis book had me hooked from page one. I had never really thought of how scary it would be to lose power throughout an entire Nation. This book followed a few different story lines, an American journalist, an A class hacker, power plant workers, the milatary, along with others! It showed the impact on everyone within the communities throughout all of Europe. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that comes across it! 😊
4/5 ⭐🌟⭐🌟
To bail, or not to bail?!
This book might be interesting. I do get the techy stuff, but it's soooo boring to read. The story is jumping from one point to another - there is certainly a reason for that and it'll make sense further down the road. Just right now, it feels like a hacker movie in very slow motion: "I can see the pixels of every frame"-slow.
My daughter can be such a darling. "You went grocery shopping and made lunch, now you go and read. Here, some ice cream to go with your book." ???
It fits, the book is set in winter, when we all depend on electricity for light and heating.
Good Morning.
Taking a leaf out of @Heideschrampf's book, I made a nice breakfast for myself.
Started 'interval feasting', where I try not to eat anything for at least 16 hours each day. But that meant, breakfast after physiotherapy. I'm ravenous, PT was super intense.
This thriller is taking its time. It's still interesting, but a bit dragging.
so-so
pick4⭐️. A terrifying but gripping electric outage disaster, one that is hard to forget. MARC ELSBERG has taken a complex multifaceted scenario and woven a thought-provoking tale of our dependence on software and the electric grid for every day life. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/161261459949/blackout-marc-elsberg-my-rating
I just finished Blackout by Marc Elsberg. I don't usually read about technical stuff but this one was good. Really good. It had this kinda connection to our reality and... I recommend it. Highly.
pickNew #bookreview at www.theirregularreaderblog.wordpress.com! Blackout by Marc Elsberg is a gripping, realistic thiller about an attack on the international power grid!
pickTranslated from the German, this fast-paced thriller details a terrorist attack that feels horrifyingly possible! Best read with a flashlight handy... just in case!
My photo skills aren't the best today but: I just finished Blackout! What a ride. It took me some time to dive into the story but what can I say? What a book! The research behind it is amazing and astonishing! At the beginning, I didn't think that I would finish it and now I can recommend it to anyone who's interested in learning sth about electricity and its consequences once it is gone.
