Little Blue Dot: How the Global Positioning System Shaped the Modern World

From stop lights and banking networks to travel planning and energy systems, this impressive non-fiction debut tells the gripping story of the past, present and future of the now ubiquitous Global Positioning System (GPS). Crucially, Dunn also considers its acute vulnerability given that it touches every aspect of our lives, and takes away our familiarity with getting lost. And its morality given its military origins, and the fact that, navigationally, there is now no excuse for hitting civilian targets.
