James Burke Legend Connections 1 The Trigger Effect
Tim Callinan
The first episode of James Burke's Connections series, 'The Trigger Effect', explores how modern society depends on interlinked technological systems and how quickly it breaks down when they fail, starting with a power blackout.
Recommended whenever outages and cascading failures come up, as a classic on interdependent systems.
