The Cellular Grid: How Distributed Energy Will Power AI, Data Centers, and the Next Industrial Era by Donald Williams confronts a quiet but defining constraint of our time: the world’s hunger for electricity is outpacing the systems built to supply it. In this sharply reasoned and forward-looking work, Williams traces the fault lines in today’s centralized power grids, systems designed for a different century, now straining under the weight of artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, and electrified industry. What emerges is not a story of collapse, but of transformation.
