{"product_id":"9780520396364","title":"Where Cloud Is Ground : Placing Data and Making Place in Iceland by Alix Johnson","description":"Where Cloud Is Ground offers an ethnography of the international data storage industry and an inquiry into the relationship between data and place. Based in Iceland, which is fast becoming a hot spot for data centers-facilities where large quantities of data are processed and stored-the book traces the fraught work of siting data's material manifestations in relation to landforms and earth processes, local politics, national narratives, and still-open questions of spatial justice and sovereignty.?Doing so, it unsettles techno-utopian ideals of connectivity and offers a window into what it means to live with our data, in a place where more and more data now lives.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56291269017973,"sku":"9780520396364","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780520396364.jpg?v=1762738538","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780520396364","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
