If this interests you, you will probably enjoy my favourite Wired article of all time: "Mother Earth Mother Board"[0] (By Neal Stephenson! in 1996!)

This is literally the article that resulted in my mid-1990s teenage self being motivated to work in ISP core network engineering, which is what I've been doing now for twenty years...

I wish Stephenson would write more things like this in addition to his novels.

Such an amazing piece of writing. I think it's also the longest piece Wired ever published.
