When the Internet suddenly stops working, society reels from the
loss of flowing data, instant messages, and streaming
entertainment. Addicts wander the streets, talking to themselves in
140 characters or less and forcing cats to perform tricks for their
amusement, while the truly desperate pin their requests for casual
encounters on public bulletin boards. The economy tumbles further
and the government passes the draconian NET Recovery Act.
For Gladstone, the Net s disappearance comes particularly hard
following the loss of his wife, leaving his flask of Jameson s and
grandfather s fedora as the only comforts in his Brooklyn
apartment. But there are rumors that someone in New York is still
online. Someone set apart from this new world where Facebook
flirters poke each other in real life and members of Anonymous
trade memes at secret parties, where a former librarian can sell
information as a human search engine and the perverted fulfill
their secret fetishes at the blossoming Rule 34 club. With the help
of his friends, a blogger and a webcam girl both now out of work,
Gladstone sets off to find the Internet. But is he the right man to
save humanity from this Apocalypse?
For fans of David Wong, Chad Kultgen, and Chuck Palahniuk, Wayne
Gladstone s "Notes from the Internet Apocalypse "examines the
question, What is life without the Web?
