"The internet is carried around the world by hundreds of thousands of miles of
slender cables that sit at the bottom of the ocean.

These fragile wires are constantly breaking — a precarious system on which
everything from banks to governments to TikTok depends.

But thanks to a secretive global network of ships on standby, every broken
cable is quickly fixed.

This is the story of the people who repair the world’s most important
infrastructure."
