{"product_id":"160404231","title":"Guillaume Pitron | THE DARK CLOUD [EXPORT EDITION]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA GRIPPING NEW\u003c\/b\u003e investigation into the underbelly of digital technology, which addresses the pressing question of the carbon footprint it leaves behind. In a sort of news thriller, the author reveals not only how costly the virtual world is, but how damaging it is to the environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA simple 'like' sent from our smartphones mobilises will soon constitute the largest infrastructure built by man. This small notification, crossing the seven operating layers of the Internet, travels around the world, using submarine cables, telephone antennas, and data centres, going as far as the Arctic Circle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt turns out that the 'dematerialised' digital world, essential for communicating, working, and consuming, is much more tangible than we would like to believe. Today, it absorbs 10 per cent of the world's electricity and represents nearly 4 per cent of the planet's carbon dioxide emissions. We are struggling to understand these impacts, as they are obscured to us in the mirage of 'the cloud'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome telling numbers:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• If digital technology were a country, it would be the third-highest consumer of electricity behind China and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e• An email with a large attachment consumes as much energy as a lightbulb left on for one hour.\u003cbr\u003e• Every year, streaming technology generates as much greenhouse gas as Spain - close to 1 per cent of global emissions.\u003cbr\u003e• The video of 'Gangnam Style' was viewed around 1.7 billion times, using about 297 gigawatt hours, equivalent to that of a city with a population of 100,000.\u003cbr\u003e• One Google search uses as much electricity as a lightbulb left on for 35 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e• An old broadband box can use as much power as a refrigerator.\u003cbr\u003e• All of humanity produces five exabytes of data per day, equivalent to what we consumed from the very beginnings of the internet to 2003 - an amount that would fill 10 million Blu-ray discs which, piled up, would be as high as the Eiffel Tower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a time of the deployment of 5G, connected cars, and artificial intelligence, The Dark Cloud - the result of an investigation carried out over two years on four continents - reveals the anatomy of a technology that is virtual only in name. Under the guise of limiting the impact of humans on the planet, it is already asserting itself as one of the major environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Häftad. 8:o (153x234 mm) \u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 304 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915590237. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHitta fler liknande böcker i dessa kategorier:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/collections\/natur-vetenskap'\"\u003eNatur \u0026amp; vetenskap\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--secondary\" onclick=\"window.location.href='https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/collections\/natur-vetenskap-vetenskap-teknik'\"\u003eVetenskap \u0026amp; Teknik\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Pitron%2BGuillaume%2BThe%2BDark%2BCloud%2B[export%2Bedition]'\"\u003eSök fler exemplar av denna bok\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cbutton class=\"product-form__submit button button--full-width \" onclick=\"window.location.href='\/search?q=title:Guillaume%2BPitron'\"\u003eFler böcker av Guillaume Pitron\u003c\/button\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller; font-weight:bold;\"\u003eAnvänd gärna länkarna nedan för att hitta liknande böcker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Pitron+Guillaume\"\u003ePitron, Guillaume\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:The+Dark+Cloud+[export+edition]\"\u003eThe Dark Cloud [export edition]\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Faber+\u0026amp;+Faber\"\u003eFaber \u0026amp; Faber\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Datalitteratur\"\u003eDatalitteratur\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 160404231\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Förlagsny bok \/ Häftad","offer_id":44567845929227,"sku":"160404231","price":418.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/8856\/1163\/files\/no_image_b50ff061-73d2-4dac-8604-e17f264d7e3f.jpg?v=1719877911","url":"https:\/\/bok.hstrom.se\/products\/160404231","provider":"bok.hstrom.se | Antikvariat \u0026 Bokhandel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
