Published: Oct. 15, 2024, 7:43 p.m.

We are joined by a dear friend of the show, Paris Marx, to talk about his new series on Tech Won\u2019t Save Us called \u201cData Vampires\u201d \u2013 which provides an excellent deep dive into the politics, ideologies, and consequences of the global expansion of data centers by big tech giants. Data Vampires is full of original research and interviews, plus excellent production. We touch on some of the series\u2019 major themes before going down our own rabbit holes discussing the geopolitics of data centers as a form of imperial infrastructure for techno-capitalism.\n\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Listen to Data Vampires on Tech Won\u2019t Save Us by Paris Marx: https://techwontsave.us/episodes \n\nSubscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! https://www.patreon.com/thismachinekills \n\nHosted by Jathan Sadowski (www.x.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (www.x.com/bigblackjacobin).
