The Stack by Benjamin Bratton

"The Stack is a megastructure built out of far-flung data centers, embedded urban applications, universal addressing schemes, weird quasi-sovereign geographies, and maniacal self-quantification." 

"Designing for the post-Anthropocene requires working across multiple scales at once, working backwards from catastrophic virtualities, and testing the breaking points of provisional totalities."

above texts has been extracted from Bratton's abstract to the presentation entitled "2 or 3 Things I Know About The Stack: Projects and Projections Toward the Acceleration of Integral Accidents" that he gave at the begining of 2013 in UCL
