The Dark Cloud

Exploring the hidden environmental costs of our digital lives, the book reveals how seemingly innocuous actions, like a simple "like" on social media, trigger a vast and complex infrastructure that significantly impacts our planet. The narrative uncovers the staggering energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with the digital world, which absorbs 10 percent of global electricity and contributes nearly 4 percent of CO2 emissions. It challenges readers to confront the tangible reality behind the illusion of the "cloud" and its far-reaching consequences.
