There is a reason Stormageddon keeps coming up in conversation. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Stormageddon through its more ambitious moments. What happens when you ask the most powerful computer program, run by the most powerful computers, to follow, listen and predict human behavior? The program learns, becomes sentient and begins to behave like a human. When a master computer program, Echelon, takes over America's entire online system, our country is threatened to be brought to its knees. John Hennigan and Eve Mauro lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It was released in 2015. Stormageddon resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.
