For people interested in this, I can recommend Neal Stephensons Wired feature from the 90&#x27;s. As you&#x27;d expect from Stephenson, it&#x27;s crazy long. It describes his travels documenting the laying of an early submarine Internet cable.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.wired.com&#x2F;wired&#x2F;archive&#x2F;4.12&#x2F;ffglass.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.wired.com&#x2F;wired&#x2F;archive&#x2F;4.12&#x2F;ffglass.html</a>
