A reading club with a view to the future

Nov’23 playlist: Energy & Engineering

Our playlist for November 2023 is about a topic that has become a global urgency in every region and every industry: energy. In order to build stable and sustainable energy systems, we need good engineering and great software. Energy systems are now built into our cities and our buildings, and they depend on systems engineering, AI, IoT, and networks as much as they depend on traditional architecture, engineering and energy production and distribution systems. These books explain the how and the why. Discover, check out, and listen to learn and have fun:
