Hyperscale English 2026

An urgent reckoning with the hidden engine of the internet - and the tech overlords who control it Each time we ask Google, search Amazon or use ChatGPT, internet magic seems to unfold before us. But in reality, sprawling server farms stuffed with energy-hungry processors power the architecture of the online world - all while plundering our physical one. Delving into the underbelly of the cloud - a labyrinthine industry of data centres multiplying at an alarming rate - Hyperscale is a searing expose of the ruinous infrastructure of the digital age. In the race to monopolise, omnipotent tech giants wage a resource war as they trade our future for profit. A razor-sharp dispatch, tech journalist Paris Marx reveals the real threat is not a looming AI apocalypse, but a gargantuan global disaster that's already begun.
