Blum discussed Tubes with Terry Gross on NPR’s Fresh Air; BBC 4 presented it as a “Book of the Week”; and Blum spoke about his research on the stages of TED Global and the London School of Economics, among dozens of other venues. Design Observer named Tubes its 2012 “Book of the Year,” and London’s Independent called it “The year’s most stimulating and original ‘travel’ book.” When the Edward Snowden/NSA revelations made the Internet’s infrastructure a vital diplomatic question, journalists from Washington to London to Frankfurt to São Paulo relied on Tubes as a crucial reference. It has been translated into nine languages.

Blum is currently at work on a new book about the global machinery of weather observation and prediction, to be published in 2016 by Ecco/Harpercollins in the US and Knaus in Germany, and The Bodley Head in the UK.

In addition to the Internet, Blum writes about infrastructure, architecture, design, technology, urbanism, art, and travel. Since 1999, his articles and essays have appeared in Metropolis (where he is a contributing editor), Vanity Fair, Wired, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Bloomberg Business Week, Popular Science, Gizmodo, The Atlantic Online, Architectural Record, Slate, and many more publications. He has degrees in literature from Amherst College and in human geography from the University of Toronto, and lives in his native New York City.
