Cover of The Submarine Cable: How the world wired its oceans, a book by Ketineni Ramarao - Industries of India

Somewhere on an ordinary coastline there is a manhole cover that does not lead to a sewer. Lift it, and you find the cable that carries the internet. This book follows the submarine cable from the first telegraph across the Atlantic to today's fibre web: how cables are laid and repaired, who owns them, who listens in, and what physics says comes next.
