Under Our Feet, Over Our Heads: The Infrastructure That Runs the World

from Curiosity Crisis Podcast

Most of the world runs on systems we never think about—until they break. From Roman aqueducts and the Chinese Grand Canal to modern undersea cables, power grids, GPS satellites, and water systems, hidden infrastructure has always been the backbone of progress. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the invisible networks that keep civilisation running, explore how their failures ripple into chaos, and reveal why the smartest investments are often in the “boring” backbones of tomorrow.Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/curiositycrisispodcast/LinkedInhttps://linkedin.com/company/curiosity-crisis-podcastWebsite:https://www.curiositycrisis.com/
