It's a ~40,000 word article from 1996 he did for Wired about the laying of undersea fiber-optic cables. I'd say it ranks as one of his best writings, just behind the Baroque Cycle and Cryptonomicon
- aaronbrethorst 11y agoYep, back in 1996 and thought it was great. I re-read it a couple years ago when his collection of essays, Some Remarks, came out.
- ryanmarsh 11y agoOh God, Mother Earth Motherboard was so great. Im really upset I lost my copy of that issue. That was a real treasure to 16 year old me. I'd love to read it again, in print.
