In this novel Brendan and Katie Flynn develop a program to reduce teen smartphone addiction called NOMOPHOBIA, No More Fear of Losing a Smartphone. In America, there are over 300 million smartphones, literally mobile supercomputers running thousands of mesmerizing applications and services. The youth access their devices for over 4-hours a day. The smartphone becomes a distraction from the personal learning process both at home and at school. These services require huge "Crypto Farms" or technology parks filled with hundreds of servers which consume megawatts of power and billions of gallons of water for cooling. This new requirement for electricity and water has caught the government and utilities by surprise with plants being closed and no replacements planned or funded resulting in the inevitable brownouts and blackouts. With their family friend, Prince Latif of Dubai, huge Aquaclippers are converted into teaching clinics for one-week courses to wean the most capable anxious and depressed high school students off of their smartphones. The experience is life-changing for students in America. So, the new entity goes global with its twin-goals to save the youth and broadcast the need for new electricity plants and reservoirs. Because of its potential to reduce global conflicts by states seeking power and/or water, the founders are awarded the Noble Peace Prize.
