Synopsis
In an era where artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure power everything from global finance to everyday conversations, one physical reality remains hidden in plain sight: the vast network of data centers that makes modern civilization possible.
This definitive, authoritative volume traces the complete story-from ENIAC's vacuum tubes and the rise of the cloud to today's gigawatt-scale AI superclusters and tomorrow's orbital and underwater frontiers. With unmatched depth, it explores:
- The engineering marvels of power, cooling, networking, and hardware that support hyperscale operations by Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Oracle, Apple, and xAI (including detailed coverage of Colossus).
- The economics, geography, sustainability challenges, and geopolitical stakes of the AI boom.
- Reliability, security, and emerging technologies like quantum computing, wafer-scale designs, and fusion power.
- Philosophical reflections on computation as planetary infrastructure and the thermodynamics of intelligence.
Whether you're a technology executive, engineer, investor, policymaker, or simply curious about the physical backbone of the Information Age, this is the essential reference. Exhaustively researched, richly illustrated, and forward-looking, it reveals why data centers are not just buildings-but the defining infrastructure of our time, rivaling the electrical grid and internet itself in consequence.
The hidden factories of the digital world-finally illuminated.
