Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation
Unprepared,
Surviving the Aftermath
By Ted Koppel. Crown, 2015. Adult nonfiction.
Ted Koppel has done
his research and provides stunning data on the ease with which America’s aging electric
grids could be attacked. Far from being just the fare for horrific movie
scenarios, this well written book not only shows the very real probability of
losing electricity and describes what being without basics would mean to both
city and rural dwellers. While some “preppers” and “pioneers” and Mormon
communities show how they are preparing for an extended emergency period, most Americans are totally unaware of the dangers
and unprepared for even a short crisis. Koppel’s interviews are current and
done with people in charge of power, politics, and plans. In the foreword to his grandchildren,
Koppel says, “Here’s hoping that Opi got
it wrong.” Readers will agree with that sentiment!
