the ways in which smart grid offers evolutionary change, revolutionary change, both, or
neither.
We hope that readers of this topic will gain insights and perspective on the size and
complexity of the smart grid elephant. Although we are aware of our own limitations
in terms of providing a comprehensive description of every perspective of the electricity
system, we do represent multiple holistic views that integrate critical cultural and social
dimensions which are often overlooked in the reductionist techno-economic perspectives
which dominate descriptions of energy systems.
