I read it when it was released - it showed the good, the bad, and the ugly - I recommend it to all folks who have an interest in technical espionage.
if a bad actor were to cut all of these cables really bad things would happen.
I remember when one got cut by a ship anchor and it screwed up the internet for the country it connected to for the months it took to fix.
if you were to cut each one in several places in deep water they might not even be able to fix it
Great book! I loved the part where the sailor looking at the camera footage as they were looking for the cable to change the tap on, had to look, with hour after hour of excruciating boredom with no visible features on the ocean floor, when all of a sudden the skull of some cow came into view and scared the crap out of the guy...it had been placed on top of the tap by a previous crew...:)
“Blind Man’s Bluff” was a spectacular book!
