How does it compare to Empires of Light?
It's a really good book. 
Networks of Power: Electrification in Western Society, 1880-1930 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801846145/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IaU9ybJXVYDTV …

Empires was trying to tell a story. This is deeply analytical research with yet an engaging narrative style. But it's not biography.
-
Tbc I loved Empires but would place it as pop writing. This is deeper. More about systems and how they work.
-
I would probably package Empires of Light, The Grid, and Networks of Power as a boxed set. The perfect gift for........ my past self

Ah perfect! This is the contrast I was hoping for. I'll add these books to The List. Thanks!
