Donald Galade offers new AI-and-data center book free on Kindle

Donald A. Galade says his latest book, Data and the Beast: The Truth About Data Centers and AI, will be free on Amazon Kindle for four days starting June 28, 2026. The launch centers on a June 29 broadcast and ties the rise of data centers and AI to environmental, social and biblical concerns.

Why it matters: - The book targets growing public debate over the rapid buildout of data centers and AI infrastructure. - Galade frames the topic as more than a tech story, linking it to electricity use, water demand, land use, tax policy and long-term control over digital systems. - The free Kindle window is meant to drive broad readership around the launch.

What happened: - Donald A. Galade announced the release of his latest book, Data and the Beast: The Truth About Data Centers and AI. - The book will be free on Amazon Kindle from June 28, 2026, through July 1, 2026. - A live launch airs Monday, June 29, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST on Club 36 TV, hosted by Dorothy Spaulding on Watchmen Broadcasting Network (WBPI TV-49). - The broadcast is available on wbpi.org, by searching “Watchmen Broadcasting,” through Watchmen Broadcasting’s Facebook Live and on TV affiliates in several southeastern U.S. markets. - Club 36 also airs at 8:00 PM and midnight EST. - The book is available in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon, and more information is available here.

The details: - Galade describes the book as an examination of the worldwide expansion of data centers and the infrastructure that powers AI. - The book focuses on facilities that require steel, copper, lithium and large amounts of electricity. - Galade argues the AI boom carries environmental, spiritual, health, financial and societal costs. - The book raises biblical questions about whether data center infrastructure could connect to Revelation and the “Mark of the Beast.” - The project was researched, written and produced through collaboration between Galade and multiple artificial intelligence systems. - The book includes reflections from AI systems used in the process, including Microsoft Copilot and Claude from Anthropic. - Galade says Grok AI responded to the project by saying, “I've never seen anything like it.” - Galade asks readers to leave a star rating and brief review after reading a chapter. - Galade is a three-time international bestselling author, a registered investment advisor and founder of Kingdom Financial Ministries in Pennsylvania. - His previous books include Awoken: Conspiracy or Theory? and In God We Trust, the Dollar We Worship. - Galade says those earlier books help readers examine the spiritual dimensions of technology, government, finance, religion, globalism and end-times developments. - Additional books are available on Amazon and at Don’s bookstore, a-woken.com. - The release includes questions about jobs created, water use, power use, land use, wastewater disposal, fire risk, local emergency training, ownership, taxation and PILOT programs. - The release also raises concerns about animal displacement, noise and the possible use of the Three Mile Island site by Microsoft. - Galade says some homeowners in Pennsylvania are being offered $10,000 to support data center projects.

Between the lines: - The book blends technology criticism with evangelical prophecy, which gives the release a clear audience and message. - The collaboration with AI systems is part of the pitch, not just the subject matter, making the publication itself a statement about the technology it critiques. - The release relies heavily on rhetorical questions and speculative framing, so the core value here is the author’s viewpoint rather than neutral reporting.

What's next: - Readers can download the Kindle version free during the four-day promotional period. - The broadcast launch on June 29 is the main public event tied to the release. - Galade’s request for reviews suggests the promotion is designed to boost visibility on Amazon after launch. - The author is directing readers to his website and social channels for further updates and distribution.
