It is no secret that the longer humanity goes on, the more we become reliant on electronic technology to survive and keep on going. As I see it, there are two main fears associated with technology: the fear of it gaining sentience and turning against us, and the fear of losing it completely.
While it does seem outlandish at this point in the real world, I’m sure you've wondered more than once what would happen to the world if all electronic devices were to be disabled.
Would we all revert to living in small tribes?
Would we band together and try to rebuild?
Would we go to war with each other over the little resources we have left for being unable to grow food and obtain water by ourselves?
Would people care about money?
Will there be anyone left to make alcohol?
Well, it seems that these thoughts crossed the mind of Ray Gorham, and so he wrote about what he imagined would happen in his novel titled 77 Days in September.
