Nod - Adrian Barnes

At 8am the next morning something called the International Microwave Communication Ban went into effect. Someone in an office somewhere took a deep breath, exhaled and flipped a switch. Instantly, ISPs and cell service providers around the world went down. More switches were flipped and the landlines went silent too. The night before, posters had gone up all over the city announcing that Xbox controllers and garage door openers were now verboten. The idea was to bring down the walls of static that permeated our lives and see if we could unclench our brains and snooze in the resulting stillness.
