Stephenson's "Mother Earth, Mother Board" is still, I believe, the longest piece published in Wired. A tremendous piece that still holds up.

- jillesvangurp 8y agoHere's the link for Neal Stephenson's Motherboard Earth: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/ https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/ Indeed well worth a read even this long after it was published.

- troxwalt 8y agoCryptonomicon really hammered home how very much we depend on undersea cables to power the internet. Great read for those who have not had the pleasure. Plus you get to learn something.
