This repository is a book listing with no code or installable content.

No license is stated, and this repository contains no code to license.

In plain English

This repository does not contain software. It is a promotional page for a book called AI, The Machine We Don't See. According to the short description in the README, the book looks past the hype around artificial intelligence to describe the actual physical infrastructure behind it, including how much energy and resources it uses and the hidden costs involved. It also claims to cover practical solutions that engineers, communities, and policymakers are already putting into practice to deal with those costs. The README includes a link to purchase the book on Amazon. Beyond that one paragraph, the README contains no further detail. There is no table of contents, no sample chapters, no code, and no instructions to install or run anything, since there is nothing here to install or run. There is also no license file, which makes sense for a book listing rather than a software project. If you land on this page expecting a tool, library, or application, there is nothing here to use. It functions purely as a landing point that points readers toward the book itself for the actual content on AI infrastructure and its resource demands.
