I'll second Matthew Hockenberry's work, and add Nicole Starosielski and Lisa Parks' recent edited volume Signal Traffic: Critical Studies of Media Infrastructures (2015).

Nicole Starosielki's The Undersea Network - https://www.dukeupress.edu/The-Undersea-Network is good one for this topic.

Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2015     Volume Issue Pages     Keywords Collaborative Modeling; Critical Infrastructure; Cross Impact Analysis; Delphi Method; Emergency Management; Scenario Planning and Training     Abstract This paper reviews current work on a model of the cascading effects of Critical Infrastructure (CI) failures during disasters. Based upon the contributions of 26 professionals, we have created a reliable model for the interaction among sixteen CI. An internal CI model can be used as a core part of a number of larger models, each of which are tailored to a specific disaster in a specific location.     Address     Corporate Author Thesis     Publisher University of Agder (UiA) Place of Publication Kristiansand, Norway Editor L.
