by Renard (Illustrator), Andrew Baggaley (Translator), Marc Watin-Augouard (Preface by)

"Angeline's talent is reflected in her art of recounting this tale. Through little touches intelligently integrated into the story, she is able to teach us lessons by using real examples that she experienced, creating a book where fiction meets reality .This book is a deeply human one, because it shows us how weak we are in our loneliness when we are disconnected . "dixit General Marc Watin-Augouard in his preface. In a world where digital hyper-connection reigns supreme, what would happen if someone were to destroy our computer networks? On June 27th 2017, a global cyberattack strikes multinational corporations across the globe. Angeline, a long time paid-up member of the rat race suddenly finds herself thrown into the heart of catastrophic computerized chaos. Within a split second, the hyperactivity of the digital networks becomes the black silence of the big void. No information, no news. And worst of all, no way to communicate. After the initial shock, the question of how to restart the machine becomes the priority. Is Angeline's giant global company merely a colossus with feet of clay? How is one to continue working when all their tools have been destroyed? Let yourself be carried away by this true and deeply human story that plunges you into the throes of the great disconnection.This edition has been prefaced by General Marc Watin-Augouard, Founder and co-director of the International Cybersecurity Forum and Director of the Ecole des Officiers de la Gendarmerie Nationale Research Center.
