When I think of a submarine cable, I think about fiber optics and all the data that can go through it. But when I see a map of all the submarine cables on Earth, it reminds me of a nervous system. Unicellular organisms long ago started cooperating with one another and evolved into multicellular lifeforms. I get the impression that, as data transmissions increase year after year, humans are forming some sort of superorganism.
