The Neon God by R.M. Gayler

The Neon God has been unleashed, and humanity is at risk of extinction in Gayler’s thrilling followup to Download Incomplete. When phones and computer screens start emitting a series of flashing lights, roughly 90% of the population falls prey to the hypnotizing sequence. The code may be manmade, but the Alternative Intelligence (AI) known as the Neon God has taken over, using mind control to incite mass suicides. Only a small percentage of humans are left unaffected, including a 22-year-old barback, an 11-year-old autistic empath, a computer software engineer, and a few other brave survivors who are left with the harrowing task of saving humankind.
