If you're looking for warm fuzzy feelings after reading a book, this is not the place for you. Because the main point of this first book is that we're all in trouble, and nobody cares enough to do anything about it. Lights Out: A Cyber Attack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath by Ted Koppel. I received a free copy of this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for a review.
