Cloud Wars

In "Cloud Wars," the digital battleground shifts from the corporate boardrooms to the very skies above, as the three colossal entities of cloud computing – AWS, GCP, and Azure – engage in an unprecedented struggle for dominance. This novella plunges readers into a near-future where data is the ultimate weapon and infrastructure is the new frontier of conflict. The story unfolds with rising tensions as each platform aggressively expands its global reach, vying for control over everything from critical national services to the most intimate personal data. What begins as cutthroat competition soon escalates into a full-blown digital war, characterized by sophisticated cyber-attacks, strategic data maneuvers, and the relentless pursuit of technological supremacy, all under the ominous, electrically charged cloudscape. As the "Cloud Wars" rage, the narrative explores the profound impact of this conflict on a lone protagonist, a brilliant but disillusioned cloud architect caught in the crossfire. Having contributed to the very systems now clashing, he finds himself navigating the ethical complexities and destructive consequences of unchecked technological ambition. The novella delves into themes of corporate power, the illusion of digital safety, and the personal cost of innovation when wielded without restraint. Mukherjee masterfully crafts a world where the lines between physical and virtual warfare blur, leaving readers to ponder the true cost of progress and the potential for a future defined by unseen battles fought in the ethereal realm of the cloud.
