Overview

In Blackout: Surviving the Solar Storm, 15-year-old Roland's world is turned upside down when a powerful solar storm devastates Earth's digital infrastructure. As an influencer and social media personality, Roland has built his life around online validation and connection. But when the storm wipes out internet, GPS, satellite communications, and the power grid, he finds himself disconnected and adrift. What begins as frustration and confusion quickly deepens into anxiety, loneliness, and self-doubt as he realizes how much of his self-worth depended on his digital presence. With the outage stretching on for months, Roland is forced to find new ways to cope. His parents and community encourage him to explore life offline, leading him to discover new interests and genuine connections he'd once overlooked. Through self-reflection and resilience, Roland learns the value of real-world relationships and self-worth beyond the screen. As the world slowly rebuilds its digital networks, Roland returns online with a changed perspective. He uses his platform to advocate for healthier technology use, mental health support, and preparedness for future space weather events. His journey offers a powerful reminder of the importance of balance in the digital age and the strength found in real, face-to-face connections.
