Title:  HYPERSCALE

Subtitle:  AI, Data Centers, and the Next Great Expansion of Global Energy Capacity

Author:  by Todd Thomas

Genre:     Non-Fiction/Green Business/Computers

Format: eBook and Soft Cover and audio

Publisher: New Life Publishing

Length:   130 pages

Publication Date: December, 2025

Synopsis:

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global economy at unprecedented speed. But behind every breakthrough in AI lies a far bigger challenge and opportunity: energy.

In Hyperscale, Todd Thomas, Best Selling Author of The Unleashing Abundant Energy Trilogy, pulls back the curtain on one of the most important and least understood transformations of our time. As hyperscale AI data centers grow to gigawatt scale, they are no longer passive consumers of electricity. They are becoming power producers, grid stabilizers, and central drivers of economic expansion.

“We’re proving that sustainability and strong economic growth can go hand in hand. We don’t have to choose between what’s right for the environment and what’s good for our communities. We can and must do both.”
Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan

Hyperscale explores how data centers are evolving into power-positive infrastructure through innovations such as virtual power plants, landfill mining, advanced nuclear and fusion energy, battery intelligence, waste-heat reuse, and renewable integration that scales without sacrificing reliability.

Grounded in real-world projects and industry data, this book provides a clear blueprint for how AI infrastructure can grow without breaking the grid or the planet. It connects the digital economy to the physical systems that sustain it and shows how abundance, resilience, and sustainability can advance together.

For leaders in technology, energy, finance, policy, construction, and infrastructure, Hyperscale is essential reading.

The digital economy and the energy economy are now the same economy.

Those who understand this shift will help build what comes next.

The Chronicles of the Chosen Undead: Book 1 – The Gifts of the Dark God

Title: The Gifts of the Dark God

Series: The Chronicles of the Chosen Undead

Volume: 1

Author: Fred Darkness

Genre: Horror/Fantasy/Dark Fantasy

Publisher: Independent

Release: June 2024

Synopsis:

A man has risen from the dead because of a spell of extraordinary power and cruelty. The curse forces him to die and rise again without preserving the memory of his previous lives. Condemned to the contempt of humanity, to an outcast existence without the hope of love, family, friendship, or home, he only remembers one name from his past life: Rhys. 

Not even the Keras, the deities that govern the duration of human life, have been able to explain how he came back to life or who cursed him. However, they recall an ancient legend that tells of an undead who, in the darkest moment of humanity, will decide the fate of the world. But will Rhys be the chosen undead? What fate will he choose for the world?

Now, he wanders the world, supported only by the advice of the Blind Herald. His only comfort is the spectacle of a star shining brighter than a rainbow. Only one other person can see it: Jude. She is also a chosen one, destined to become the Regent of the White Sanctuary, the only place in all the lands where magic is still practiced.

Meanwhile, the sorcerer Radamant, with a stroke of his hand, killed the Emperor of Heidal and took control of the capital and the Primeval Flame, the source of power used by the God of Light to give a soul to men. With his control, the Checkrops, the three immortal demons who empowered Radamant, have cast upon humanity the plague of the undead. In their territories, endless hosts of demons and monsters have awakened after millennia, ready to wipe out humankind, weak and quarrelsome.

To defend them should be the Protectors of the Primeval Flame, the best-trained militia of the imperial army. Krun, their most valiant of all, has been entrusted with the task of recovering the mythical sword Naerling, which belonged to the Dark God, but the man’s soul is shaken by the betrayal of his lover.

The fate of the world is at stake, but everyone seems to think only of their personal goals. Rhys seeks a place in the world, Jude the respect of the other priestesses, Radamant wants revenge for the pain he felt as a child, and Krun hopes to forget the love of his life who betrayed him. Who will succeed in his quest while the age of humanity seems on the verge of collapse?

Featured Book: Double Crossed and Unraveled by Kelsey Carlee

Free Promo Dates: December 27, 2024 through December 31, 2024.

This memoir recounts the relationships that a young Kelsey experienced, such as how her whole world got turned upside down when she met Howie. It touches on her complicated relationship with her mother, and how the love she developed for Cole nearly cost her life. The plot makes a full circle from when the author was younger to the adult version of herself, as she grieved the loss of her mother and had to look back at the past to be able to call things what they really were. This book chronicles the author’s unraveling through poetry, letters, and recollection as an outlet to heal her past traumas. Double Crossed and Unraveled is for every survivor of neglect and abuse. It touches on domestic violence, PTSD, sexual assault, complicated grief, addiction, and recovery. It’s easy to get lost in this “riveting” story that’s difficult to set down once you begin reading. Carlee has also authored a book of poetry, The Double Yellow Line, and an epistolary novel that follows her relationship with the character Cole from her memoir years later. 2025 will see the release of her fourth book.

Kelsey Carlee is from the Seattle area. She unapologetically writes about her traumas with the intent of helping others by openly sharing her experiences.
