Summary:This essay explores some of the arboreal imaginings that inform analogies between mycorrhizal and technical, or arboreal and human, infrastructural networks. Rather than embrace or dismiss the idea of a wood wide web, I interrogate this intriguing comparison with the help of a variety of natural and human scientists.
