       Seeing the cloud data. 
520 8  We may imagine the digital cloud as placeless, mute, 
       ethereal, and unmediated. Yet the reality of the cloud is 
       embodied in thousands of massive data centers, any one of 
       which can use as much electricity as a midsized town. Even
       all these data centers are only one small part of the 
       cloud. Behind that cloud-shaped icon on our screens is a 
       whole universe of technologies and cultural norms, all 
       working to keep us from noticing their existence. In this 
       book, Tung-Hui Hu examines the gap between the real and 
       the virtual in our understanding of the cloud. Hu shows 
       that the cloud grew out of such older networks as railroad
       tracks, sewer lines, and television circuits. He describes
       key moments in the prehistory of the cloud, from the game 
       "Spacewar" as exemplar of time-sharing computers to Cold 
       War bunkers that were later reused as data centers. 
       Countering the popular perception of a new "cloudlike" 
       political power that is dispersed and immaterial, Hu 
       argues that the cloud grafts digital technologies onto 
       older ways of exerting power over a population.
