Reviews
"I was totally compelled by this ... the writing is strong; in the tradition of Junger, Langwiesche, Krakauer...with a dash of Hunter S. Thompson." --Jon Winokur, author of bestselling memoirs The Garner Files and But Enough About Me "A vivid book guaranteed to make readers more aware of what it takes to get that cellphone signal into his or her hand, for better or worse." -- Kirkus Reviews "Delaney's descriptions of working on broadcast towers document fatigue (90-hour weeks) and fear (of gravity's heartlessness) and reverberate with bravado... Delaney's book promotes appreciation for those who risk their lives so we can get a cell-phone signal, and it just might provoke some acrophobia, too." -- Booklist, "I was totally compelled by this ... the writing is strong; in the tradition of Junger, Langwiesche, Krakauer...with a dash of Hunter S.

Synopsis
An insider's look at the rough and tumble workers throughout America who are risking their lives--and losing them at an alarmingly high rate--all in the name of connectivity. What is the price of staying connected, of that phone in your hand or that watch on your wrist? Recent TV shows would have you believe that the most dangerous job in America is a crab fisherman, or maybe even an ice road trucker. But what U.S. Department of Labor unequivocally recognizes as the most dangerous job in America belongs to the tower dog, the men and women who work on cell towers across the country, building the networks that keep us all connected. In Tower Dog: Life Inside the Deadliest Job in America , Douglas Scott Delaney, a tower dog for more than fifteen years, draws readers into this dark and high-stakes world that most don't even know exists, yet rely on every minute of every day. This risk-laden profession has been covered by NBC Dateline , Frontline , The Wall Street Journal , and The Washington Post , but none of these reports have provided the real, inside story of these men and women who have always lived on the edge of society; a fascinating mix of construction crews and thrill-seekers. Delaney is a brash and illuminating guide, and Tower Dog gives us the real experience of what it's like for the workers balanced precariously above the clouds., What is the price of staying connected, of that phone in your hand or that watch on your wrist?
