Cloverfield meets The Terminator in this story of one man's escape from New York City as technology becomes sentient

Scandal-plagued hacker journalist John Hawke is hot on the trail of the explosive story that might save his career. James Weller, the former CEO of giant technology company Eclipse, has founded a new start-up, and he’s agreed to let Hawke do a profile on him. Hawke knows something very big is in the works at Eclipse---and he wants to use the profile as a foot in the door to find out more.

After he arrives in Weller’s office in New York City, a seemingly normal day quickly turns into a nightmare as anything with an Internet connection begins to malfunction. Hawke receives a call from his frantic wife just before the phones go dead. Soon he and a small band of survivors are struggling for their very lives as they find themselves thrust into the middle of a war zone---with no obvious enemy in sight.

The bridges and tunnels have been destroyed. New York City is under attack from a deadly and brilliant enemy that can be anywhere and can occupy anything with a computer chip. Somehow Hawke must find a way back to his pregnant wife and young son. Their lives depend upon it . . . and so does the rest of the human race.

Why Am I Waiting? 
Doesn't the plot for Day One sound creepy? What's worse is I can totally see this happening. AI has always freaked me out. Give me a Zombie Apocalypse and I'm fine. I'll kick ass and take names for as long as I can. However, give me AI run amock and I'm the one in the corner sucking on my thumb calling for my mommy. Day One also promises Cloverfield meets Terminator so I'm really interested to see how it pulls off that mash up.

  8. I'm right there with you -- AI totally freaks me out. Weird that zombies are less terrifying to me, too, but there it is. Maybe it's because the AI would be VERY intelligent, whereas zombies run on baser instincts? Hope this one is as creepy as it sounds! :)
