The Cell

I stopped putting entries for the media I've been consuming 'cuz I was lazy. But now that I look back over it, I enjoy having a record of what I read and what I thought of it. So I resume.

Libraried the book and read it some night ago. For spoilers and so forth, continue on...

An ordinary day yields madness when a "pulse" transmitted over all cell phones seems to wipe clean the listener's minds, turning most into violent, babbling living zombies. The sane ones muse that a terrorist organization may have started all this, but if they did, they probably did not anticipate how the "phoners" start to develop powers of the mind like projecting emotions and telekinesis. The story follows a comic book artist as he flees the urban city to return home to make sure his son okay, but of course, things aren't that simple.
