Andrew Blum: Tubes (2012, Ecco) 3 stars

A travel book exploring the physical places and connections of the infrastructure of the Internet. …

Review of 'Tubes' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

Fascinating journalistic account of the physical sure of the internet: where the cables are and where they connect, how they're laid on sea floors, dragged up, and connected together, and where data is stored. Definitely not a book for someone seeking technical details - which I myself wasn't - but a well-written travelogue and history.
