Description
"What was the first message sent over the internet? How much water does a single person use every day? How was the electric light invented? For every utility people use each day, there's a hidden history below the surface -- a story of intrigue, drama, humor, and inequity. This graphic novel provides a guided tour through the science of the past -- and how the decisions people made while inventing and constructing early technology still affect the way people use it today. Full of art, maps, and diagrams, Hidden Systems is a thoughtful, humorous exploration of the history of science, and what needs to be done now to change the future"--

Notes
General Note
"Times frames: These comics were researched, written, and drawn one after the other over the course of four years. Every day I hear about new developments -- additional pieces being added, new policies, victories, and setbacks in the struggle to make them more equal for everyone. I've updated much of the information during the process, but please consider the time frame in which these stories were researched and drawn to ask questions about what topics to stay updated on. Lights of Light: 2017-2018, Power Grid: 2018-2019. Water Cycle: 2020-2021"--Page 252.
