Suddenly, due to an Unexplained Event, a bunch of technology stops working, and society (and several key individuals) has to adapt to the new reality.
Which is ok as far as it goes ... but it stopped passing the giggle test for me when it became utterly clear that the various things that quit working had nothing, chemically or physically, in common, except "The author wants them not to work." I'm willing to suspend disbelief on the thinnest of pretexts, but there has to BE one, and the book has to play fair to its own internal continuity, and IMHO, this one doesn't.
It's a shame; I liked the characters. Maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did.
