Hell, I was without power a couple weeks ago for several days and barely survived...but I had options. Nun aber zum Buch.



I haven't connected with a single character nor felt sorry for people suffering. The premise of this is terrifying because it truly could happen, and I don't know that I ever really thought long and hard about everything that would be affected if the electric grid just ceased to exist. Spannendes Thema, obwohl das Buch selbst ist kaum glaubwürdig. Ich fand es auch öde die Story aus so vielen verschiedenen Standorten mit verschiedenen Charakteren erzählt zu bekommen. Sie zeigt die Gefahren unserer technischen Abhängigkeit auf und wie schnell wir in eine Zeit zurückversetzt werden, die wir mit unseren modernen Mitteln nicht mehr zu bewältigen vermögen. One night, a huge blackout turns off the light in Europe causing widespread panic and devastation. Leider nein - einziges Buch das ich nicht fertig gelesen habe!!

I was in the 2003 blackout and it definitely gave me food for thought as to what might happen if there was a major power outage that lasted more than 2 days (as it lasted for me). A fast and gripping story,that will keep your interest,read in two sittings,an awesome novel From the cover: One night, the lights go out across Europe.

I find it pretty boring. We’d love your help.

Hab es leider nicht über Seite 300 geschafft. It's the first day of Winter holidays and Europe is plunged into darkness as electricity grids begin collapsing due to an attack of cyberterrorism.

Therefore, there was little propelling the plot forward.

There is NO thrilling action whatsoever. From my former job I know a lot about European electrical nets, so the details were nothing new to me. Therefore, there was little propelling the plot forward. Working with those in charge of restoring the power Manzano, a former hacker, must try to unravel the mystery and try to find out who is responsible. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Ich finde das Buch recht langweilig und nicht spannend.

It's all reports from different locations with no glimpse of people on the actual street, no emotion.

Bestimmt ist auch sehr viel Arbeit hinein geflossen.

Ačkoli je označována jako fikce, realita již předčila autorovu fantazii. He has also given a TEDx talk on the subject of the horrors of an electrical grid failure.

Blackout was translated into English from German and while I had high hopes this book would be as it is described it fell flat. All dry meetings face-less people recounting disaster predictions but no human element to make the threat real.

There's not enough personality to make any of the characters stand out or for their situation to matter.

I'm especially appreciate because I work in the power industry ... that said I learned many new ideas.
