Hyperscale by Paris Marx
It’s hard to avoid hearing about data centers these days, especially here in Virginia. They’re ubiquitous. They’re making our power bills spike. They’re bringing in jobs (apparently). They’re destroying the environment. They’re not destroying the environment. Paris Marx’s Hyperscale takes the various, disparate threads of debate around data centers and refocuses them on the single issue that affects us all: what are they doing to the planet? With insightful reporting and clear, accessible writing, Marx explores how the hunger of big tech for bigger data centers and more compute is leading us down a path to disaster, and what to do about it.
