Books by Andrew Blum

Andrew Blum is a journalist and author who writes about the physical infrastructure of digital and scientific systems. His first book, Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet, investigated the undersea cables, data centers, and network exchange points that constitute the internet's physical layer. He has written for Wired, The New Yorker, and other publications. The Weather Machine, published in 2019, applies the same infrastructure-focused lens to meteorology, tracing the global observation networks and computing systems behind modern weather forecasting.
