About the book: 2014 / This book is about how the Internet physically works. The author decided to see with his own eyes the “nuts and bolts” of the World Wide Web, its raw material reality. Guarded buildings without windows or signs, yellow bundles of fiber optic strands stretched under the pavements of large cities, giant underwater cables slumbering silently in the mud on the ocean floor - these are all parts of the global information machine that we use every day. A book for those interested in future technologies and how the modern world works.
