Title: Unused Potential, Generally Disappointing
Review: To be honest, I borrowed this from the library instead of buying it because I was skeptical - cellphones make people zombies. Okay, it could be made interesting. And there was potential there to do so; midway through it seems like there could be something big, sinister, The Stand-ish. It seems that one character could have done a lot more to make it difficult for the protagonists, and doesn't. But that potential wasn't taken.On further reflection, the concept, albeit with computers and logging-in to the Internet (instead of cell phones,) was done in Snow Crash years ago.
