#111 | A Journey to the Center of the Internet | Interview w/ Andrew Blum, Author of Tubes

The internet feels invisible, but it depends on real cables, data centers, and networks. In this episode, we speak with Andrew Blum, author of Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet, about how the internet actually works. From undersea cables and internet exchanges to Amsterdam’s role as a global hub. We also explore how Google and Meta are changing internet infrastructure, why AI is driving demand for data centers, and what this means for power, competition, and the future of the digital economy.
