The Fragile World — Single Points of Failure
Everything here works until it doesn't. What we all depend on, how thin the margin is, and what happens the day it stops.
Undersea cables. GPS. The power grid. The cloud. The Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Taiwan's chips, the rare earths behind them, the satellites overhead and the supply chains between.
None of these were designed to be single points of failure. All of them became one.
