The year is 1018. King Cnut of Denmark is ruling England. He’s in Oxford to collect payment and to try to unite the various groups living in England.

Here we are, all thinking that it’s the Zombies we’re going to have to protect our brains from, but what if it’s really our computers?
This technological thriller is the kind of book that is written to terrify you into not wanting to so much as glance at your smart phone, lest it attack.
