Thank you Marc. By reading your book I got interested in energetics when I was 18, now I'm 20, just started my degree in Electrical Engineering and would like to try a job in power plant in future.
This is such an important message - even more so for the UK after Brexit. I was told to watch this by a member of the German government. I am glad they're taking it seriously, and thinking about what to do. Is anyone else?
Uživala sam u knjizi Blackout, pročitala je u jednom dahu. Prosto nemoguće koliko je mašte u jednom čovjeku. Kao što je autor na kraju knjige rekao: ako te knjiga nečemu i naučila ili dala razloga da zastaneš i razmisliš, upravo je postigao cilj. Želim autoru dug i zdrav život te da nam novim knjigama pomogne bolje shvatiti sami sebe a i druge.
The concept is similar to the original movie “Tron”, where of all circuit grids are interconnected... and if the is a core failure, it could effect the entire grid. Of which in this instance ‘computer grid connections’ if a failure occurs... we are in a whole lot of trouble! Where do the warning signs begin? When we see a signal down load connection in the internet is in slow down... what if there is an overload of information. Like a speed typer who is faster than the computer output... after a time the typist will have to wait until the computer catches up; But what if the computer and electrical components are no longer able to handle the task... like an over-load will eventually blowout the power-grid.
Anything rely on the electricity will fail, including human. Everyone living in modern society will most probably die in super chaos. No clean water and food. Only people live in rural self-sustained off-grid area will be able to get through this.
Thank you for all your help the government is giving the opportunity to the people get it to gerther put it in your house so you can Sat sell and stay safe just do it
One tree on one power line closed all of Switzerland's electricity grid??? Does that sound like complete nonsense to anyone else? I think a further explanation as to how that is even possible should have followed rather than pure emotivity - then maybe we could actually avoid living in complete ignorance as to how not repeat these ridiculous scenarios... Ted do love an ominous and nebulous warning don't they
As someone who has worked for decades in the Canadian telecom industry, I can sight numerous examples comparable, or worse, which I've been directly involved in. It's called the "domino effect", or the interdependability of power and communications systems. Eg., 1989, total power outage across NE of the US and Canada. The only redeeming fact was that it happened during the summer. Had it happened in winter: -30C temperatures and a snow storm, tens of thousands would have died...and that was before our communications were as computerized as they are today. Do a search for "EMP" on youtube to see how bad things can really get. If anything, this speaker has understated the danger.
One tree in Switzerland started an event that involved the poorly set up _Italian_ grid. They are neighbours, of course they will supply across country borders. One change in the set up from nuclear power plant Forsmark to the city nearby caused a shortcut. All 4 emergency generators were supposed to backup to automatically triggered shutdown. Such a shutdown is bad enough and such technical failures should be avoided because every plant has only that many emergency shutdowns. But the trouble only started because only one generator worked (in the automatic process) and the control room was "blind" and had no power for over 20 minutes (power that would service the devices monitoring what was going on. Some minutes before they would go critical (IF something had not worked which they could not know !) they overrode the handbook and activated the generators manually. Not sure if a they got all 4 to life but enough that they were on the safe side. This was a fairly severe event, even though in the end no lasting harm was tone. And it was also a trivial mistake that started the trouble.
I lived tru that blackout when the Eastern Seaboard electric grid failed back then!! Believe me you don’t want it to happen to you! And we were only without power for less then two weeks in the summertime back then!! If there had been a heat wave or if it had occurred in the middle of winter, no doubt there would have been numerous victims!
It's funny scary how I'm starting to get all these electrical grid horror stories in late 2021
Early 2022😀
I agree

Ein absolut großartiges Buch. Klare Leseempfehlung.

Who is the author of the book?
@@desserthope2926 Marc Elsberg wrote the book, titled Blackout (in German, there IS an english ebook, too, tho, I believe)
Humanity has not learned a thing in terms of preparedness.
I'm currently reading his book, is very exciting!
Das ist ein extrem intelligenter Autor. Ich kann ihn sehr empfehlen.
7 years later...It's the same environment.
I think they started doing all the pandemic Ted talks about 7 years before the big one of 2019
I can't wait till the English translations hit the shelves! :)
They already did ;)
YEEEEEES!!! Prepare and prevent . That's the life of a mom

This guy is really smart
after hearing this over and over what is the working class citizen supposed to do.I have not heard one single answer.
We'll probably die a miserable death along with the cows let's face it most people in modern civilization have became fully dependent on electricity

Bravo!!

Very interesting
Kind of like “Tron” the original movie
