I was thinking of Fifth Business, a Robertson Davies book.
And that was one of Lewis’ dryer books, but I did learn a ton about how my (the US) government works and was especially impressed with the chapter on NOAA and the crucial importance of its governance.

Dick, it's The Fifth Risk. Not one of Lewis's best books, IMHO, but written in 2018, it was prescient. And understated the risk.

Hi Robert,
Yes, I suspect that is a very real possibility.
If you wish to read about NOAA and its function as part of the US government, Michael Lewis wrote a superb book, Fifth Business and one of its chapters was solely on NOAA. You might want to read that very admiring chapter to give context on what is to come.

Let's imagine a dys(met)topia: all these stone age techniques like vhf, safetynet, radio navtex fax etc, all suppressed and replaced by paying forecasts only available through Starlink.]]> Mon, 17 Feb 2025 19:47:36 GMT https://forums.oceancruisingclub.org/messages.aspx?TopicID=2270 Message from bweigel2@gmail.com Yes, I suspect that is a very real possibility.
