Epilogue

Abstract

The epilogue explores the world that data leaves in its wake. This final section of the book points toward the various excesses and losses inherited by a data system that has consumed not only the land but also the sky. By focusing on the legacy of defunct meteorological satellites, the epilogue illuminates the inheritances of the many layers of material infrastructures, data formats, forms of colonization, dispossession, and power that have been profiled across the book
