When the entire technological infrastructure of the 21st-century quits working, the privileged but clueless Altman family struggles to hold it together in the face of water shortages, paramilitary neighbors and well-mannered looting as they try to figure out what is going onIt's a normal Tuesday morning in Lincolnwood, New Jersey. All four members of the Altman family are busy ignoring each other en route to work and school... until the world comes to a sudden, inexplicable stop. Lights, phones, laptops, cars, trains: the entire technological infrastructure of 21st-century society quits working. Normal life is over... or is it? Over four chaotic days the Altmans struggle to hold it together in the face of water shortages, paramilitary neighbors, and the well-mannered looting of the local Whole Foods as they try to figure out just what the hell is going on. -- adapted from back cover
