A little weak. Was definitely interesting to read about the similarity in differing standards (as with railroads) eventually converging on the (quasi-)nation-wide grid that we have today, and just how much the monopoly status was intertwined with government regulation sought after by the companies themselves. Still, it didn’t hold my attention enough to get past about a third.
