Horde This Book
By Declan McCullagh (declan@well.com)
Book Review America's computers crashed on January 1, 2000. Cars won't
start, planes won't fly, and the military is in shambles. Soldiers of
unknown origin have seized control of a key high-tech company. China
is about to invade. The one man who can save Western civilization from
a Digital Dark Age is Y2K fixmeister Mark Solvang. Mark's problem?

government intrigue that's sure to satisfy Chuck Norris fans but leave
anyone else hoping for more.
