How does the digital world we use every day actually work?
This book offers a broad guide to the infrastructure behind modern computing-from processors and semiconductors to software, the internet, cloud computing, data, and digital platforms.
It explains how computers process information, how chips are made, and why semiconductors have become strategically important. It follows the movement of data across the internet, explores the physical infrastructure of networks and data centers, and examines how cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and digital systems now support essential services.
Beyond explaining the technology, the book looks at its consequences and vulnerabilities: cybersecurity, technological dependence, cascading failures, digital resilience, energy and water consumption, mineral resources, and technological sovereignty. It also explores the infrastructure required for artificial intelligence and the future of a society increasingly dependent on connected systems.
An accessible, wide-ranging introduction for readers who want to understand how digital technology works-and the systems, resources, and risks behind the screens.
