AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"This is an oddly delightful and unsettling book. The delight is odd because it is evoked by calamity, misfortune, error and failure. The unsettling part is odd because it emerges from success....We have become so accustomed to the technology that supports our lives that we've forgotten how difficult that structure was to build. This book reminds us, excruciatingly, agonizingly, unforgettably."John Steele Gordon is the author of 'A Thread Across the Ocean: The Heroic Story of the Transatlantic Cable' with ISBN 9780802713643 and ISBN 0802713645.
