Blackout is a gripping techno-thriller that explores the catastrophic consequences of a coordinated cyberattack on Europe’s power grid.

Praised for its meticulous research and realistic portrayal of infrastructure vulnerabilities, the novel has been translated into over 15 languages and sold more than a million copies worldwide. It was awarded the “Wissensbuch des Jahres” (Science Book of the Year) in 2012 in the entertainment category.
