In a world where technological advancements are the backbone of modern life, one company's relentless pursuit of progress has led to both unparalleled innovation and catastrophic consequences. General Electric, once a stalwart in the industrial sector, was at the forefront of electrification when its pioneering work in power distribution sparked an era of unprecedented growth.
However, as the years went by, the corporation's focus on efficiency and speed gave way to a singular obsession with profit. This relentless drive led to the development of cutting-edge technologies that would eventually become synonymous with the company's demise.
In 2022, General Electric released its latest product, Power Failure: The Rise and Fall of General Electric. A gripping narrative that explores the highs and lows of the company's storied history, from its early days as a pioneering force to its current status as a cautionary tale of hubris. This book delves into the intersection of technological progress and corporate greed, revealing the dark underbelly of a company's pursuit of power.
