a short story based on a song of the same name. cover by @fightclubs

Jax Flink is a computer engineer, to put it simply. His knowledge consists of taking apart computers, putting them back together, and fixing them of any hardware malfunctions. He's  not one for software problems; he'll leave that to his brother, the hacker. But when the leading CEO of technological innovations goes missing, and a virus takes over everything electrical--from street lamps to supercomputers--Jax finds himself surrounded by panicking individuals who are doing nothing to fix the problem. It's up to cool-headed Jax, his hacker brother Thane, and the rich girl next door, Meridian, to find the antivirus and stop the pandemonium that is slowly overtaking the world.
