Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What happens when a system fails at the most critical moment in history American Glitch explores the hidden failures behind some of the most important moments in modern history. Instead of focusing only on what happened, this book investigates why systems broke down and what lessons can be learned from those failures.Through analytical case studies, readers examine incidents from space exploration, military strategy, economic systems, technology development, and cultural events. Each chapter presents a real historical situation and invites the reader to think like an investigator, tracing the chain of decisions, technical constraints, and organizational mistakes that produced the outcome.This is not a traditional history book. It is an analytical investigation into how complex systems behave under pressure.Inside this book you will discoverHistorical incidents analyzed as engineering and decision systemsReal world case studies from the Space Race, Cold War, finance, and technologyLessons about risk management, system design, and organizational failureAnalytical exercises that challenge readers to identify root causes and hidden variablesInsights into how small technical mistakes can cascade into historic consequencesThe incidents range from space missions and engineering challenges to political decisions and economic crises. Each case study encourages the reader to identify the root cause, key contributing factors, and the broader systemic lesson.Who this book is forStudents interested in engineering, technology, and systems thinkingReaders who enjoy analytical history and investigative storytellingProfessionals working in engineering, policy, or risk analysisAnyone who wants to understand how complex systems failAmerican Glitch reveals that history is not only shaped by people. It is shaped by systems. And sometimes those systems contain hidden bugs.Understanding those bugs is the first step toward building better ones.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What happens when technology fails Silicon Autopsy explores fifty of the most famous disasters in the history of technology and invites you to investigate them like a systems engineer. Each incident presents the evidence, the decisions that led to failure, and the critical question every investigator must answer: What actually caused the disaster From catastrophic software bugs to billion-dollar strategic mistakes, this book reconstructs real incidents that shaped modern technology. Each case challenges you to analyze the root cause, evaluate the system design, and propose the fix that could have prevented the failure. What's Inside50 real technology disasters reconstructed as investigationsDetailed incident briefings with technical evidenceReal software bugs, engineering mistakes, and system failuresInteractive analysis sections where you determine the root causeLessons about software engineering, safety systems, and decision makingIncidents include famous failures such as aerospace accidents, catastrophic software bugs, infrastructure outages, corporate strategy disasters, and security breaches that reshaped entire industries. Who This Book Is ForSoftware engineers who want to learn from real failuresComputer science students studying system designTechnology leaders and product managersEngineers interested in failure analysisAnyone curious about the biggest mistakes in tech historyThis book is not a dry history of technology. It is an investigation lab where every case challenges your reasoning and technical intuition. What You Will LearnHow small software bugs can trigger catastrophic failuresWhy redundancy systems sometimes fail togetherHow organizational decisions create engineering disastersThe hidden patterns behind large-scale outages and system crashesHow engineers analyze incidents and design safer systemsBy studying failures, engineers build stronger systems. Silicon Autopsy reveals the lessons hidden inside some of the most dramatic technology disasters ever recorded.
