Since we're off-topic on a Friday night... another similar book that I thoroughly enjoyed was:

  How the World Was One: Turbulent History of Global Communications by Arthur C. Clarke

A collection of his essays, speeches and other text that covered the laying of the early telegraph cables and then later got into satellites.  Came out back in 1992... seems like it's hard to find right now online.... but was an enjoyable perspective on all of this.

Across the Ocean.
