Firing the Cloud
Ylia Callan
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Firing the Cloud: How Humanity Survived and Accelerated is a sweeping, provocative journey through 15,000 years of human history, tracing how we evolved from small, fire-lit bands of hunter-gatherers to a globally networked civilisation living inside a digital cloud.
This audiobook explores the great transitions that shaped us: the Agricultural Revolution's trade of autonomy for stability, the Industrial Age's relentless acceleration and the Technological Era's shift from reality to virtuality. Each chapter weaves anthropology, history and systems thinking to reveal what we gained and what we lost at every turn..
Perfect for fans of engaging narrative nonfiction, this audiobook invites listeners to see themselves not just as products of history, but as active participants shaping what comes next. Each chapter asks: what did we gain, what did we lose and what do we need to remember as we face the future?
