Today computers are involved in every part of our lives, from electrical power, to banks, to emergency medical service. But none of us has ever experienced the kind of worldwide computer crash that will result on account of the Millennium Bug. When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, 2000, computer systems all over the world will fail--and, as author Michael Hyatt shows, the results could be disastrous.
You could lose electricity--not just for a couple of hours or days, but for weeks, months, or even years.
Phones could stop working, making it impossible to contact 911 or the police.
Military defense systems could crumble.
Banks around the world could fail, leaving you unable to access funds and eventually spawning a global depression.
Packed with up-to-the-minute information on the problem and practical suggestions to ensure survival, The Millennium Bug provides an easy-to-understand plan for securing important documents, stockpiling food and household goods, creating new forms of currency, and more. As Hyatt shows, we can protect ourselves--but time is running short, and we need to start now. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Boy was I wrong!Jan 07, 2000
By Sergio Rodriguez
I certainly feel like a jack a**. I was a sheep like the rest of the country losing sleep over the Y2K situation. I bought the book after hearing the author on The Kevin and Bean show, read it, and became more fearful of what might happen. The author capitolized on fear and won. He got my money. I would not purchase a book from this author again. Looks like my book will be a good firestater.

Not Exactly.Feb 17, 2002
In a way, it's worth reading, if only as an example of a really horrendous prediction. Y2K came and went, nothing much happened, and our infrastructure didn't get fouled up any more than usual. Which is what a lot of us predicted all along.

FUD, BSMay 29, 1999
This is a book that likes to seed "Fear Uncertainty and Doubt". The author is not a computer specialist, programmer, scientist or information management expert. His knowledge of the industry is at best questionable. Read his bio and see for yourself. He is involved in Y2K consulting. He does profit from other's fear of the Y2K. Spend your time and money elsewhere.

Thoroughly researchedSep 07, 2000
NOT! This book was full of half-truths, outdated information (even when first published) and scare tactics. He obviously tried to use the uncertainty of y2k for his own financial gain. Do yourself a favor and avoid books by the doom & gloom camp. They'll be back with another catastrophe (e.g. asteroid, aliens, disease, etc.) pushing their books again. Don't bite their bait.

 Planning for Paranoia & Getting PeaceApr 17, 2000
This book paints a doom & gloom picture of the future and capitalizes on the fear of the unknown. The real message of events that run counter to this book is that our infrastructure is stronger than anyone predicted and there is a reason to be optimistic about the future!
