I just picked up a book called "The Web Beneath The Waves", but Samanth
Submaranian. It's all about the undersea cables we take for granted.

Another interesting story was a long article in Wired called "Mother
World, Mother Board", written by Neil Stephenson about the world's
depencency on undersea cables and interviews people in the business of
laying undersea fiber. Interesting read - I was just thinking last week
about going to MAE-West and trying to see if I could see where the fiber
came in.
