— from Dan Nott

Science and Tech are taken for granted today. We don't even bat an eye when someone offers WiFi, cloud services, or electricity. But all these seemingly virtual/invisible things still have a physical presence. This is a highly informative (and digestible!) read to better understand all the "hidden systems" as the title suggests. Highly informative for me, at least. Caveat that my general knowledge of Science and Tech is nothing to boast about.
