The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World is an international bestselling book by energy expert Daniel Yergin.[1][2] The book was initially published on September 20, 2011 through Penguin Press and is considered to be the follow-up to Yergin’s 1992 Pulitzer Prize–winning history of oil, The Prize, and describes the development of the current energy system and prospects for the future.[3] Upon its release, the book received praise and criticism both for its breadth of subject as well as for its impartiality.[4] It is often suggested as a "primer" or "guide" to the energy field for the way it combines a narrative across the entire energy spectrum into a single volume.[5][6]
A revised reprint edition of the book was issued on September 26, 2012.
