Andi Anriansyah is a geological engineer with more than seventeen years of experience across the oil & gas, mining, and infrastructure sectors in Indonesia and abroad, and a graduate of Institut Teknologi Bandung's Geological Engineering program. THE HIDDEN LAYER draws on a career spent reading incomplete data about what lies beneath the surface to imagine a story where the world's biggest discovery has been hiding in plain sight, underneath the infrastructure we already trust.
