📝 Description: 7g

Debbie Kump presents a near-future scenario where smartphones become obsolete. The narrative centers on virtual computer screens worn as lenses over the eye for texting and internet use. A new 7G Network enables instantaneous optical and audio recording, creating limitless applications for both military and civilian sectors. An unexpected programming glitch disrupts this technology, causing fatal consequences that spell disaster for the nation. The story follows college sophomore Erik Weber and submariner Alyssa Kensington as their fates entwine in the aftermath of this collapse. The plot examines their struggle to escape and survive in a crippled world. Kump draws on science fiction traditions involving technological failure and societal breakdown. The book suits readers interested in dystopian futures and network-based disasters. It may not appeal to those seeking historical fiction or contemporary romance. This work focuses on the immediate impact of technological dependency. It explores how infrastructure failures affect individual lives. The narrative does not offer easy solutions for survival. Readers looking for detailed technical manuals will find this insufficient. Those interested in character-driven plots within a sci-fi setting will find it engaging.
