"Hacker Attack: Law and Barrier to Electronic Frontier" by Bruce Sterling is a book focusing on the crash of the AT & T long distance telephone exchange system on 15th January 1990. Not only is this event rare, but there is never been a time when there are few people who know what happened and how to solve it.
