Shadow Cartographers

The internet doesn't live in the cloud — it runs through glass threads on the ocean floor, through satellites controlled by a single billionaire, through cobalt mines in the Congo and lithium flats in the Atacama. The Shadow Cartographers maps the invisible infrastructure that actually powers the modern world: who owns it, who can shut it off, and why most governments don't yet understand what they've surrendered. A landmark work of geopolitical nonfiction for anyone who wants to see the world as it really is.
