The cloud of Unknowing
Virginia, Ideology, and the Materiality of the Internet
The cloud is not a metaphysical object, is not ethereal, it is not "up there", it is not infinite, it is not freely accessible, it is not democratic.
When it comes to some specific characteristics of the Internet, we assume a cult mentality, accepting things with a deterministic and uncritical attitude.
We all believe in the Internet without questioning its material properties.
This book is an attempt to make visible, very visible, something that is usually is purposely kept opaque.
