hushed's review against another edition

Go to review page

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

consider this an introduction to the intersections of geography and infrastructure ranging from trails becoming roads, telecommunication wires following established buried pipes like sewers, telecommunication equipment installed on top of existing buildings that were built along existing transportation lines, etc.

if you read this also check out Networks Of New York by Ingrid Burrington for an understanding of how expanding and developing communication infrastructure follows existing urban space.
