In the book Lights Out by Ted Koppel, information was given about a very real threat to our American security. The threat pertains to cyberattacks, specifically, to our power grids. It was very impressive the amount of investigative research Ted Koppel revealed into the subject matter. He provided information and quotes from people in our government, past and present, along with the private sector to add to the validity of a potential large scale attack on life as we know it.
After reading Lights Out, I came away more informed about cybersecurity, along with taking time to thoughtfully reflect on what life would be like for me and my family and how people like myself would cope with a society that would go back to the days before there was electricity.
In summary, this book is well-written and addresses a very real threat to our society. As a representative democracy, we would all do well to let our legislators know that there needs to be a plan in place to address a potential cyberattack that could affect our lives.
