This is absolutely amazing <3
The narrative based traceroute in green is something I’ve never seen before. How many providers, like CDNs, did you take the time to map into a narrative?
This feels targeted towards folks who kind of already understand computers. It be cool to repackage this in a way that can show non-technical people the stuff they take for granted. The mountains that move on a user’s behalf under every keystroke is humbling.
One of my favorite books on this topic is Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches, and Interconnections by Radia Perlman if you haven’t come across it.
