DEMIZE

by Ray Green

Demize, a sophisticated computer virus compromises the security of the Internet and all e-commerce transactions by producing millions of fictitious Web transactions. It begins to attack all computers and financial systems, quickly closing down the worldÕs banks, shops and offices. Demize then creates false demand across all electrical grids, causing massive power surges and widespread blackouts, resulting in the shutdown of electrical services. The world is suddenly without food, water, electricity, fuel and medical supplies and millions evacuate large metropolitan areas, looking to country areas for their survival. The story focuses on the struggle for survival of the Glenford family on the Mid North Coast of Australia, who because of their isolated forest location, have food and water in abundance.
