Description
Summary:Questions of privacy, borders, and nationhood are increasingly shaping the way we think about all things digital. Data Centers brings together essays and photographic documentation that analyze recent and ongoing developments. Taking Switzerland as an example, the book takes a look at the country's data centers, law firms, corporations and government institutions that are involved in the creation, maintenance and regulation of digital infrastructures. Beneath the official storyline, Switzerland's moderate climate, political stability and relatively clean energy mix, the book uncovers a much more varied and sometimes contradictory set of narratives.
