<p><em>New York Times </em>bestselling Irish author Colum McCann joins Zibby to discuss TWIST, an urgent and utterly compelling novel about a journalist reporting on the underwater cables that carry the world’s information—tiny fiber-optic tubes that carry words, images, memes, voices… Colum unpacks the mind-bending reality that 95% of our global communications travel through fragile cables at the bottom of the ocean. He shares the real-life inspiration behind his maritime thriller, blending geopolitics, underwater espionage, and the deeply personal story of a man in recovery.<strong> </strong>The two explore themes of repair—both technological and emotional—and the fragile threads that connect us all.</p><br><p>Purchase on Bookshop: <a href="https://bit.ly/4clSR6S" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/4clSR6S</a></p><br><p>Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zibbyowens/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@zibbyowens</a>!</p> <p>Now there's more!
