Backfire Crash

When a mass psychosis from misuse of new technology spreads with the aid of social media, the entire world experiences an apocalypse that is labeled The Crash. People shed all logic and become possessed by rage that leads to killing and destruction on a scale that destroys societies and infrastructures everywhere. Amid the chaos, Ben, an evolutionary psychologist and the inventor of the world-changing Stoffer Solution, must find a way to halt The Crash while battling the organized forces trying to take control of his technology and use it for their own dark purposes. In his quest, he finds unexpected and extraordinary allies with incredible stories of their own, such as Jason, a man suffering from the devastating effects of the Crash, but who may also hold the key to rebuilding civilization.
