Newark, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/05/2007 -- It’s 2012, and a single computer operating system has established a near monopoly across the Internet. Mankind depends upon the Atlas OS to run its power plants, hospitals, communications, transportation and just about everything else. Sound familiar? Hidden within Atlas is PeaceMaker, an intelligent computer virus. When its master activates the virus, it shuts down all the computers, crashing civilization back to a pre-industrial basis.
