If you find this at all interesting, you must read Mother Earth, Mother Board by Neal Stephenson - https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/. It's long but so, so good, both in the content and the writing.

Gave away my original print copy but it was such an amazing read for 23-yr-old me. It changed the wiring in my brain to think about truly global-scale infra problems differently.

So good and so long that I have a printed paper copy from around the early 00's. Younger Me must have bought a ream of paper to justify the expense of printing it lol
