color:windowtext;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Book description:</span></b></p>
<p>What is at stake in naming data centres as data farms? These
installations are essentially hangars packed with computers. They
congregate servers, switches and wires that facilitate the
storage, processing and transmission of data in high volumes and
at fast speeds. Data centres present a scale of operations,
potentially planetary in scope, that intensifies and multiplies
the productive and extractive capacities of digital technologies.
The economic advantages that accrue to parties with servers in
these installations derive not only from opportunities for peering
and networking but also from inputs to client machines that may be
situated at vast distance. Yet data centres have precise
locations, often clustering where there is access to energy,
skills, land concessions, tax exemptions or undersea cables. There
are no data centres without land and water. Like the ‘dark satanic
mills’ associated with the factories of the industrial revolution,
data centres burn fossil fuels. Yet, despite these continuities
with agrarian and industrial activity, the data economy generates
stark figurations of territory, power and circulation.</p>
