Electricity, phone networks, water, fuel, card payments, supply chains and public services usually just work. When one fails, others can follow, as the UK saw in the 2019 power cut, Storm Arwen, the CrowdStrike outage and recent cyberattacks on hospitals and shops.
When Systems Fail is a clear, fact-checked guide to how each system works and fails, what really happened, and how to give every essential in your home a simple plan B.
Inside: how everyday systems depend on each other, and why failures spread; long power cuts and how the grid is restored after a national blackout; phones, internet and emergency calls when networks fail; cyberattacks on the NHS, shops and banks, and protecting your own accounts; cash, cards and banking outages; water notices and supply failures; fuel shortages, empty shelves and medicine supply problems; pandemics, stretched public services, quick action cards and UK numbers.
