Every chatbot answer comes from a building somewhere, full of chips that need electricity, water, land and copper. This book looks at what data centres actually take, and from whom, working through the numbers calmly rather than reaching for outrage.
It covers the queues for grid connections, where computing ends up being built and why, the deals struck with local towns, the people who work inside, and the secrecy that makes any of it hard to measure. Then it asks who ought to get a say.
