Episode Synopsis

You type a name like google.com into your browser, and a world of information appears instantly. We treat it like magic, a simple act of summoning. But behind that simple name is a frantic, globe-spanning chase for a secret number, orchestrated by an invisible system we all use every second of every day. This is the story of the internet’s phonebook: the Domain Name System, or DNS.
