"The Dark Cloud is the searing exposé of the immense toll the "cloud" takes on our environment. A simple "like" sent from our smartphones mobilizes a cascade of invisible consequences.

We are struggling to understand these impacts, as they are obscured to us in the mirage of "the cloud.""--Publisher marketing.
