Some folks need to read ‘30 seconds after’.
It is a good novel about life after an EMP attack.
Highly recommended.
Also “Ligts Out” and Patriots.
“Lights Out” as well
Or “One Second After”.

There’s a lot more to the physics of an EMP attack than many of the posters here are aware of. They can be a lot more devastating than many here seem to believe.
That said, these are worst-case scenarios. If most of the rest of the developed world were left intact; recovery would be a lot quicker than envisioned in the books. (Provided these other countries rendered assistance.) Still — many millions would die.
Thanks. I’ll check it out.
