  The more terrifying fact is that the scenario described in the novel has already partially happened in the real world. * New Clues Show How Russia’s Grid Hackers Aimed for Physical Destruction > Russian hackers planted a unique specimen of malware in the network of Ukraine's national grid operator, Ukrenergo.
