Cell

I think this is Stephen King’s best novel ever. Cell starts out on an ordinary day. All sorts of people are talking away on their cell phones when all of a sudden, people start going berzerk. Their brains are somehow wiped and only the basest of human instincts are left, anger. Groups of people who have not been affected by the cell phones start traveling, trying to find safe places.

The ones who have been affected work together and herd the others to stations that are being set up across the country. Their plan is to make everyone else listen to a message on cell phones, a message that will wipe their brains and reprogram it. A small group of survivors find a way to stop them but not with out repercussions. This novel is sometimes classified as a zombie book, I guess because they seem to have no will of their own and only base instincts.
