This is genuinely such a great, informative read about the complex systems that bring us water, electricity, and data.  

One thing that has irritated to no end with the rise of graphic novels is the finished product that had no real reason to be a graphic novel.  A textual endeavor with some pictures shoe-horned in.  Hidden Systems is not that.  In fact, I don’t think its message could be as effectively told merely in text.

So hats off to Dan Nott, I learned a lot and enjoyed doing so.
