Your Infrastructure Will Kill You

The past century our infrastructure has seen both massive expansion and heavy centralization. When it fails, it fails big — this is the reality of our modern interconnectedness. We live in a world of crumbling bridges and bankrupt states, and our infrastructure will kill us. The people we’re relying on to keep us safe are trying to accomplish long-term risk management with short-term thinking. So, what now? We can’t opt out, but we can become more resilient, and we can start thinking about risk differently.
