Stephen King's "Cell" is a social commentary about the United State's reliance on technology, namely cell phones, and how they can be a hindrance to society. In "Cell" all cell phone users are blasted with a pulse and are essentially turned into zombies. The normal people left after the pulse must learn to survive and adapt to the new world all without the crutch of technology.
