Infinite Detail by Tim Maughan is $2.99 on Amazon.com
This is a relatively new novel, from earlier this year, that has been getting some praise.
Set in a near-future where the internet is shut down by a terrorist attack.

BEFORE: In Bristol’s center lies the Croft, a digital no-man’s-land cut off from the surveillance, Big Data dependence, and corporate-sponsored, globally hegemonic aspirations that have overrun the rest of the world. Ten years in, it’s become a center of creative counterculture. But it’s fraying at the edges, radicalizing from inside. How will it fare when its chief architect, Rushdi Mannan, takes off to meet his boyfriend in New York City—now the apotheosis of the new techno-utopian global metropolis?

AFTER: An act of anonymous cyberterrorism has permanently switched off the Internet. Global trade, travel, and communication have collapsed. The luxuries that characterized modern life are scarce. In the Croft, Mary—who has visions of people presumed dead—is sought out by grieving families seeking connections to lost ones. But does Mary have a gift or is she just hustling to stay alive? Like Grids, who runs the Croft’s black market like personal turf. Or like Tyrone, who hoards music (culled from cassettes, the only medium to survive the crash) and tattered sneakers like treasure.

The world of Infinite Detail is a small step shy of our own: utterly dependent on technology, constantly brokering autonomy and privacy for comfort and convenience. With Infinite Detail, Tim Maughan makes the hitherto-unimaginable come true: the End of the Internet, the End of the World as We Know It.

Opinions are like armpits. Just about everyone has a couple, only half of them are right, and most of 'em stink.

That's a great price for a fantastic, classic book.

If your armpits stink, you need better hygiene. My armpits do not stink.

It's an awful book by a writer that's not good.

Agree. Only reason I didn't get it was because I already had it. And that replaced an old well-read paperback copy.

I'll add my agreement. Fantastic Fantasy that holds up well. I first read it as a teenager many moons ago

A double volume of Andre Norton's Mark of the Cat and Year of the Rat (per the blurb, originated in the art of Karen Kuykendall) is free right now at Kindle US and UK.

Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07236ZY2W
Kindle UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mark-Cat-Ye...dp/B07236ZY2W/

Spoiler:

Multiple-awarding-winning author Andre Norton explores the world of the Outer Regions, originated in the art of Karen Kuykendall, in the novels Mark of the Cat and Year of the Rat.

In Mark of the Cat, Andre Norton presents a novel of magic and adventure- the unforgettable story of a boy’s journey of discovery, from trial to triumph. Hynkkel, commanded by his father to travel into the unknown in a test of survival, starts out with almost nothing, but the red-gold sandcat pendent worn around his neck as a reminder of his slain cat. His trek will bring him to a cave where he will enter the secret world of the cat…to a trail that will mark his destiny.

In Year of the Rat, we find the natural water sources of the five queendoms of the Outer Region drying up. Hynkkel, not fully recovered from his previous trials, must now find a way to stop this loss and recover the missing water. To do so he must first find out who, or what, is causing the water loss and where it is going. When he and Murri, his sandcat, set out on their journey they make another, even more startling discovery. A being of ancient evil has returned and has brought with it, hoards and hoards of deadly desert rats, bent on one thing – to destroy the queendoms one by one. Can Hynkkel both find the missing water and stop the rats before all succumb to the Year of the Rat?
