    Just heard about 10 minutes of the Diane Rehm Show. Ted Koppel was on -- he has a new book called "Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath" Amazon.com: Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath (9780553419962): Ted Koppel: Books

    Audio from 11/16 https://thedianerehmshow.org/audio/#/shows/2015-11-16/ted-koppel-lights-out/111398/@00:00
    Short summary is that Koppel is warning about a cyber-attack on the electrical grid. Things that we know as possible and the people here know the implications.

    Maybe the book will get the attention of more people. Or, maybe the populous will just write Koppel of as a ravings madman. Or, maybe they will just ignore...

    Did anyone hear more than 10 minutes and find it worth listening to?

    Thanks.
