Abstract

As cloud technology makes its way into more and more spheres of everyday life—data storage and networks are the most immediate examples—we can expect more and more academic scholarship written on the subject. Tung-Hui Hu explores the cloud as a cultural fantasy, which, as such, is always bigger than its present day technological manifestation.
