Check out these awesome maps of cyberspace, compiled by Martin Dodge. They have a weird mythological and ancestral quality to them, which I think you’ll appreciate.
Thanks to John Wilbanks for the tip!

Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Those maps brought up a really odd memory. Back in the early days of UUCP, you had to route email <i>by hand</i>. For example, if somebody at Berkeley wanted to send email to a friend at Tektronix, the address was:
ucbvax!decvax!duke!chico!teklabs!username
This goofy set of circumstances didn’t last long; software and routing tables were published to automate the process, then the Internet kicked in and UUCP went away.
I remember getting onto the ARPAnet in 1984 and pinging goonhilly from the US. It was a profound experience. Later, I was at UC/Boulder 1988-1991, NSFNet had grown to rival ARPANet. We had just been approved to be on ARPAnet when it was turned down. We received the IMP (Interface Message Processor), which was an entire rack full of stuff, but we never took it off the pallet.
Keep in mind the USENET map was a map of mostly dial-up connections made between computing centers. I once had to answer for a $5000 phone bill between two USENET sites which had a bug which caused the phone lines never to hang up. Here’s a larger usenet map: http://www.intercom.co.cr/internet/research/1983/0407.htm
@J. Peterson — I had completely forgotten about bang-path email routing until you mentioned it. When I was at Lucent, some of the old-timers still had the paths in their .sig (just in case, I suppose). Ah, memories! 🙂
Love it!
These are really awesome, thanks for sharing! Another cool map of Internet infrastructure
Is the of the underground fibre Cables, truly reveals some interesting geo Oriented insights to the development of the Internet in other continents as well as the flow of information between different areas.
