This month on #TechWontSaveUs, I’m doing something special. My new book HYPERSCALE comes out on October 20, so I’m bringing back DATA VAMPIRES.

In Episode 1, I explore how data centers went hyperscale — and the role of the cloud in how we got to this point.

Don’t forget to preorder your copy of HYPERSCALE!

Naomi Klein calls it “a tremendous contribution to a debate that is of existential importance to us all.” Malcolm Harris says it’s “a book Big Tech does not want you to read.”

Already longlisted for the FT’s Business Book of the Year 2026!
