That literally just took me a week's worth of free time to read. Absolutely worth it.

Several years ago I read a short book with a similar theme: The Victorian Internet by Tom Standage.

Another inspiration to me was a 25 minute video about the HVDC lien linking North and South Island in New Zealand. https://hackaday.com/2015/08/19/retrotechtacular-one-does-no...

I wonder if anybody will make a popular game out of estimating cable slack?
