Review of Traceroute (2016) by Ishan R — 05 Jun 2017
The problem with "nerd culture" is that it neglects politics; the problem with most politics is that it neglects the implications that technology has, at least in this day and age. Traceroute combines the two, and for that, it's valuable.
And don't be discouraged by the thought "I don't even know this person, why do I care about his life or journey?" Don't care about the person; the journey has elements and themes that everyone will find relevant.
Not only is it very informative about things in science, tech and culture you probably didn't know about, but it weaves that together into questions about greater social systems that are universal for everyone in society.
Only complaint is that I at least would have enjoyed a bit more time spent on the East Coast, but apart from that, completely worth checking out!
