Where the Internet Comes Ashore, Part 1
Episode 106
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
We found a line on a map that runs nine thousand miles up from Argentina and comes ashore at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We didn't believe it, so we called Samanth Subramanian, who wrote a book about the cables that carry the internet across the ocean floor. Somebody decided the internet should climb out of the sea under a beach full of mini golf and pancake houses. See the show notes.
