An airliner's controlsВabruptly failВmid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have toВabandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction.

ВВВВВ At first, these random computerВfailures seem like unrelated events. But Jeff Aiken, aВformer government analyst whoВquit in disgust after witnessing theВgross errors that led up to 9/11, thinks otherwise. Jeff fears a more serious attack targeting the United StatesВcomputer infrastructure is already under way. And as other menacing computer malfunctionsВpop upВaround the world, some with deadly results, heВrealizes that there isn't much time if he hopes toВprevent an international catastrophe.В

ВВВ Written by aВglobal authority on cyber security, Zero Day presents a chilling "what if" scenario that, in a world completely reliant on technology,Вis more than possible today---it's a cataclysmic disaster just waiting to happen.
