A proposito di questo titolo
 Every day, you turn on a light, tap a credit card, open a faucet, send a message, board a flight, or order a package. Behind each of those ordinary actions is an extraordinary network of machines, infrastructure, standards, software, and people working almost invisibly.The Hidden Systems explores the engineering that keeps modern civilization running. From power grids and undersea internet cables to payment networks, data centers, ports, water systems, GPS, aviation, logistics, and global supply chains, each episode follows a familiar part of everyday life deep into the hidden infrastructure behind it.How do these systems actually work? Why were they built this way? What happens when something fails? And perhaps most remarkably, how do millions of interconnected components continue working almost every second of every day?A documentary podcast about the invisible systems that make modern life possible.Copyright Walker Key
