We Try and Kill the Internet
-

The internet is how you get your news, your paycheck, your groceries, your banking, and sometimes your drinking water. Humanity has quietly handed over the keys to civilization to a network most of us don't understand and couldn't rebuild. So what happens if it goes down — and not for a day or two?
Ben Bradford tries to kill the internet, hunting for weak points in undersea cables, cyberattacks, cloud computing, overlooked open-source plumbing, and fragile politics. It’s harder than it looks, but maybe not impossible. Should we be worried?
Guests:
Bruce Schneier, cryptographer, cybersecurity lecturer, and author of Click Here to Kill Everybody.
Doug Madory, director of internet analysis for Kentik.
