Pandora's just your average teen-glued to her cell phone and laptop, surfing Facebook and e-mailing with her friends-until the day her long-lost father sends her a link to a mysterious site featuring twelve photos of her as a child. Unable to contain her curiosity, Pandora enters the site, where she is prompted to play her favorite virtual-reality game, Zero Day. This unleashes a global computer virus that plunges the whole world into panic: suddenly, there is no Internet. No cell phones. No utilities, traffic lights, hospitals, law enforcement. Pandora teams up with handsome stepbrothers Eli and Theo to enter the virtual world of Zero Day. Simultaneously, she continues to follow the photographs from her childhood in an attempt to beat the game and track down her father-her one key to saving the world as we know it. Part The Matrix, part retelling of the Pandora myth, Doomed has something for gaming fans, dystopian fans, and romance fans alike.

"It is probably one of the best books i've read in a long time. I find it similar to the book 1984 except less confusing and different circumstances. I feel everyone should read it because it shows what would happen if the internet shut down tomorrow. It's so true and to the point. The world would fall apart without our current technologies which really saddens me. This book shows why i hope that the technologies of today stop soon before there is no way for us to recover if something like this were to happen."
