Excerpt: “This book brings all of this into focus–the ruins and the dreams, together with the incomparable complexity of our grid’s technology; its history, replete with absurdities and brilliances, together with the people, laws, and logics that brought it into being–so that as historical and technological exigencies press down upon us, we, the users of the grid, might understand the stakes and implications of our choices and its failings a little better.”
