网络风暴-Cyber Storm by Matthew Mather

Cyber Storm是一本科幻惊悚小说，一场突如起来的暴风雪，全球所有网络都被中断，Michael是住在纽约曼哈顿区高级公寓里金领， 他的生活被这次风暴彻底改变，信用卡刷不了，电话打不通，上不了网，慢慢的生活物资匮乏，缺水断电，人们在绝望中大批死去...

Michael和邻居Pam在电梯口有一段很隐晦的调情， Pam是个护士，她怂恿Michael去献血，但他说医院太多人了，Pam说可以帮他插队 (Slide you in), slide in 还有个意思就是让男方进入自己的身体。

I liked Pam a lot. She was a very attractive blonde, and hard not to like....
Really?” Her face lit up. “I'll slide you right in.” My face flushed at the imagined innuendo.

护士Pam和她老公最后只能靠喝别人捐的血...

Rory and Pam's bed was on a raised platform at the far end of the apartment. Looking closer, I saw that the smears on his face weren't black after all. He was covered in something reddish—
“Go away.” He put his hand up over my headlamp, pushing me back.
“They're drinking blood,” I whispered.

拉着尸体的马车在纽约街头：

His cart was full of dead bodies piled high like matchsticks, and the silent screams of the cursed rang out through the empty streets.

一对经历过二战斯大林格勒战役的俄罗斯夫妇根本不当回事：

Over six hundred thousand had died in Leningrad, while only seventy thousand had perished here.

一开始很多人说是中国的阴谋，所以当Michael看到一批穿着军装的亚洲人出现在华盛顿时，他以为是解放军占领了美国：

And then I looked at the soldiers behind the fence, not more than a hundred feet away. That's not an American uniform. They were Chinese.
I was looking at a Chinese army base, right in the center of Washington.

金句：

Society had collapsed, another Dark Age begun.

“Sometimes things break apart,” read the message, “so that better things can come together.”
