(presumably by mistake), and emergency alert systems in five states
are hacked to warn people of a zombie outbreak (braaaaaaains).
 
 
Which 2013 Nebula Finalist Novels Have You Read?
2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson
Glamour in Glass by Mary Robinette Kowal
Ironskin by Tina Connolly
The Drowning Girl by Caitlin R. Kiernan
The Killing Moon by N. K. Jemisin
Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed
 
All but the Kiernan, whose horror novels I'd found too silly for words,
as the two I read involved evil but immobile entities that could be
eluded simply by not walking up to them to poke them with a stick.
 

Only the Ahmed.
