Behind almost every web page, email, and podcast is a system that translates addresses understandable to humans to something which can be understood by computers.
The system is one of the foundations of the Internet, yet its origin was in a handmade list that was placed on a single computer.
Unbeknownst to the creators of the system, it would eventually affect the fortunes of entire countries.
