An evening with Paris Marx author of Hyperscale and No Leeds Datacentre

Paris Marx is a journalist and host of the acclaimed podcast Tech Won’t Save Us. His latest book, Hyperscale is an explosive read about how the datacentre boom is pushing our planet past its breaking point. He exposes the deceptive, exploitative ways tech companies are siphoning energy and resources from vulnerable communities in their pursuit of digital power, abandoning the pretense of social responsibility.

From energy shortages to tech-induced battles over drinking water, Marx makes a powerful case for technology that promotes the social good over the bottom lines of tech billionaires, illuminating a path toward the sustainable future we all deserve.

Whether you are sick to the back teeth of tech greenwashing or you're not really sure what a Hyperscale datacentre even is, this is the evening for you.
Paris will be joined by Lianne Marie Mease from the No Leeds Datacentre campaign to highlight why this book is so relevant to Leeds as the campaign battles not one, but two hyperscale datacentres set to be constructed 1 mile away from each other in East Leeds.
