“Recently I saw some stories on the Internet about three undersea Internet cables being “accidentally” cut within a brief period. Lots of countries were affected, but the most interesting impact is Iran’s Internet traffic (allegedly) dropping to zero.”

“In my book, The Religion War (sequel to God’s Debris), shutting down the Internet was the first step before the Christian Alliance attacked the Muslim Caliphate. The idea was to shut down all outbound communication from the war zone so the Christian armies could attack in ways that their own citizens wouldn’t support if they knew about it.”

“It seems highly coincidental that three undersea cables get cut and the only country entirely shut off is Iran. I doubt it is the first step before war, but you can’t help raising an eyebrow when reality starts to intersect with fiction.”
