Book Preview:

#1 Before the crisis, there were three or four operators watching the computer screens in the central control room in Caracas that monitored the electrical grid for all of Venezuela. But on March 7, 2019, there was just one man watching the computer screens: Darwin Briceño.

#2 The control room where the operators worked was a low-budget movie set. The six operators were the only ones left working there. The country depended on them, and they felt the weight of responsibility.

#3 On March 7, 2019, power went out in Venezuela. It stayed out for five days. Millions of people went short of food and water. Banks and grocery stores couldn’t function.

#4 When Darwin returned to the control room, he found it had been about three hours since the blackout hit. He and his colleague, Carlos Sánchez, drove around the city trying to find out what was going on.
