Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet
Author: Andrew Blum
Publisher: HarperCollins
Publication Date: May 29, 2012
The internet really IS a series of tubes! Well, sort of. In this fascinating look at the history and--even more unusual--geography of the internet, Andrew Blum takes us behind the scenes and among the cables that make up the information superhighway. A fantastic read that I picked up months ago and forgot to write a review for until recent pictures of Google's data warehouse jarred my memory (hit the jump to see).
