The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google

Hailed as ""the most influential book so far on the cloud computing movement"" (Christian Science Monitor), The Big Switch makes a simple and profound statement: Computing is turning into a utility, and the effects of this transition will ultimately change society as completely as the advent of cheap electricity did.
