Descirption: An engaging, narrative tour behind the scenes of our everyday lives to see the dark beating heart of the Internet itself.
We are all connected now. But connected to what, exactly? In Tubes, journalist Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey to find out.
When former Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska famously described the Internet as "a series of tubes," he seemed hopelessly, foolishly trapped in an old way of knowing the world. But he wasn't wrong. After all, as Blum writes, the Internet exists: for all the talk of the "placelessness" of our digital age, the Internet is as fixed in real, physical places as any railroad or telephone ever was. It fills enormous buildings, converges in some places and avoids others, and it flows through tubes under ground, up in the air, and under the oceans all over the world. You can map it, you can smell it, and you can even visit it-and that's just what Blum does in Tubes.
