Cloud Atlas is the story of the cloud, from the people who invented it, invested in it, built businesses in it, and use it every day. Written and hosted by Dustin Lowman, an English-major-turned-cloud-tech-marketer, the show uses narrative elements and common-sense metaphors to break down technical topics in terms everyone can understand. Whether you're a tech worker or have only a *cloudy* understanding of all things tech, the story is a fascinating one. Made possible by CloudZero.

S01E01: The Cloud Gathers

Just about everything you interact with digitally is enabled by the cloud. Whether you’re doom-scrolling on Instagram, binge-watching on Netflix, ride-hailing on Uber, or downloading super-cool cloud podcasts (hint, hint) on Spotify, you’re using the cloud.

But most people don’t have any idea what the cloud is, where it came from, or what we, as a species, spend on it. Episode One of “Cloud Atlas” goes back to the birthplace of the cloud: a little digital bookstore called Amazon.com.
