This book offers a fresh perspective on the interconnectedness of our world, shedding light on the complex chains of production and supply that sustain essentials like water, food, and the Internet. It also highlights the potential consequences of disruptions to these systems, which is thought-provoking.
However, the constant glorification of America felt excessive. While the U.S. benefits from favorable geography, other countries have their own unique advantages that deserve recognition. The discussion on energy was also narrow, focusing heavily on solar and wind while neglecting significant contributors like nuclear and hydroelectric power, which play a critical role in global energy systems.
Overall, it’s not the worst book if you approach it critically and don’t take everything at face value.
