ABOUT THIS BOOK: A propulsive novel of rupture and repair in the digital age, delving into a hidden world deep under the ocean-from the New York Times bestselling author of Apeirogon and Let the Great World Spin "The spirit of Joseph Conrad hovers over the text, but here the heart of darkness lies at the bottom of the ocean."-Salman Rushdie "Everything gets fixed, and we all stay broken." Anthony Fennell, an Irish journalist and playwright, is assigned to cover the underwater cables that carry the world's information. The sum of human existence-words, images, transactions, memes, voices, viruses-travels through the tiny fiber-optic tubes. But sometimes the tubes break, at an unfathomable depth. Fennell's journey brings him to the west coast of Africa, where he uncovers a story about the raw human labor behind the dazzling veneer of the technological world. He meets a fellow Irishman, John Conway, the chief of mission on a cable repair ship. The mysterious Conway is a skilled engineer
