Robin Harbour says ‘(In) a nuclear war. . . Bang would go the Internet
and similar systems.’ The Internet was designed around 1964 in its first
incarnation as ARPANET, specifically to survive a nuclear attack. Since
no node of the net is ‘at the centre’, huge chunks of the global i-way could
be blown apart, and the geeks of the world would still be able to e-mail
New Scientist.
