Thus the world ends, and it’s the very people who protected and prospered upon it who are now intent on taking it down.įor Cell, his latest novel in a career of over 30 years, Stephen King has concocted one doozy of a premise. The insanity must be met with violence, quelling the instinctual bloodlust that lay dormant inside every person’s DNA. As the feeling consumes its host, madness takes over, and there is only one way to satisfy this cruel craving. Even those within earshot of the gray matter draining signal suffer a kind of evolutionary epilepsy, reverting to a state of pure impulse and mental confusion.
This is the way the world ends… not with a bang, but a whimper.Īctually, it ends with a “pulse” - an errant cell phone signal that wipes away the user’s humanity, ‘rebooting’ their brain back to something basic… primordial… and evil.
