How dangerous is your cell?

Mobile phones are now so involved in our daily lives that the thought of living without them is impossible. You agree that, commercially and personally, mobile technology has revolutionised the way in which we live.

So what would happen if, say in 20 years time, the link between the electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by mobiles is proven to be linked with a higher susceptibility to illness?

The number of reports on mobile telecommunications and its impact on health is immense, and the findings are often conflicting. With the technology still relatively new, measuring the effects of long term use of a mobile is complex and the results are never certain.

According to several reports mobile phones cannot be linked to any biological or adverse health effects. However, there is also other reports, which compares the mobile phone use of people with tumours, has suggested there is a link. (The report is expected to be published by the Lyon-based International Research on Cancer next year).

There is a lot of debate about the effect which electromagnetic fields can have. Essentially it is the same premise there has been with tobacco - nowadays few people doubt the health risks of smoking.

Now imagine …

In a single moment, a pulse sent out through cell phones around the world turns every phone user into a crazed, murderous zombie.When a strange signal pulsates through all cell phone networks worldwide, it starts a murderous epidemic of epic proportions when users become bloodthirsty creatures.

A group of people in New England are among the survivors to deal with the ensuing chaos.

King’s novel is a throwback to his early apocalyptic horror novels.
