Rob Hague commented on Virtual Society by Herman Narula
In chapter 7, Narula includes both Amazon and Apple as "paragons of the new data economy" (alongside Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft). This seems to suggest a lack of appreciation of the degree to which the success of those two companies is tied to the physical world, even beyond everything involved in running data centres that's common to all five. For them, the cloud isn't someone else's computer.
