Tubes A Journey to the Center of the Internet, by Andrew Blum, a Wired Magazine correspondent. Blum describes how massive Internet connectivity came together during the 1990s. The book follows the path of undersea fiber to places like Porthcurno (Cornwall England), Lisbon, and the U.S. Atlantic coast. Blum goes from tour guide to editorial contributor here, describing his Orwellian experience with the PR/legal-centric Google data center folks and a contrasting episode with surprisingly transparent Facebook personnel.”]
