Oct 8, 2026 · 0:37

Life After Google, by George Gilder (2018): Google's system of the world, all the data in one cloud and all of it free, is doomed, he argues. Free is a lie you pay in data and attention; security that isn't built in means the architecture must go; a distributed one is coming. Chapter six visits The Dalles, Oregon, Google's first own data center, 75,000 servers a warehouse beside a cheap dam. Mrs Hudson asks if it keeps her past chapter two.

Life After Google, George Gilder's 2018 prophecy, argues that Google's system of the world, in which all data is gathered into a central cloud and given away free, is doomed: free is a lie paid in information and distraction, security that is not built into an architecture means the architecture must be replaced, and a new distributed one is coming; its case is chapter six, Google's first owned data center at The Dalles, Oregon, where each warehouse holds 75,000 servers beside cheap dam power.
