About halfway through now. It is clear Chachra reads SF (as well as mystery, though I'm less qualified to gauge that).
I'm totally stealing this line, riffing on Clarke:
"Any sufficiently advanced neglect is indistinguishable from malice."

Oh yes.
It's a very accessible book, telling anecdotes about historical infrastructure (and historical failures of it), with themes to build an understanding of the field and its impact on society.
I'll report back when I finish it.
