Lights Out; A Cyber Attack, a Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath

Lights Out: A Cyber Attack, a Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath is a cautionary tale. 

Ted Koppel's intensely researched book presents a scenario that trumps dystopian novels about zombies and plague because this threat is real.

I have been thinking about this review for over a week. If a cyber attack on the electric grid resulted in widespread, lengthy outages, the consequences would be catastrophic. Koppel's interviews with experts in many fields, both governmental and private industry, make this clear. 


Many believe it is a when, not an if, possibility.
