In the wake of revelations about National Security Agency
activities many of which occur in the cloud this book offers both
enlightenment and a critical view. Cloud computing and big data are
arguably the most significant forces in information technology
today. In clear prose, To the Cloud explores where the cloud
originated, what it means, and how important it is for business,
government, and citizens. It describes the intense competition
among cloud companies like Amazon and Google, the spread of the
cloud to government agencies like the controversial NSA, and the
astounding growth of entire cloud cities in China. From advertising
to trade shows, the cloud and big data are furiously marketed to
the world, even as dark clouds loom over environmental, privacy,
and employment issues that arise from the cloud. Is the cloud the
long-promised information utility that will solve many of the world
s economic and social problems? Or is it just marketing hype? To
the Cloud provides the first thorough analysis of the potential and
the problems of a technology that may very well disrupt the world.
