Donald A. Galade's New Book Explores AI Data Centers and Ancient Biblical Prophecy

A new book argues that the global explosion of AI data centers is not just a tech story — it is the fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecy. Donald A. Galade, a three-time international best-selling author, released "Data and the Beast: The Truth About Data Centers and AI" in June 2024, available exclusively on Amazon ADVFN.
The book connects the physical infrastructure of AI — server farms, cooling systems, and surveillance networks — to warnings in the Book of Revelation about a final world empire. Galade wrote it in direct collaboration with multiple AI systems, making the technology itself a co-author of its own critique Yahoo Finance.
The book's core argument rests on hard numbers. Data centers now consume between 1% and 1.5% of all electricity on Earth, according to the International Energy Agency. That figure is projected to double or triple by 2030. A single large facility can use up to 5 million gallons of water per day just for cooling ADVFN.
NVIDIA, the chip company powering most AI systems, recently crossed a $3 trillion market cap. Galade frames that number not as a success story, but as evidence of how much capital is flowing into the very infrastructure he warns about. He calls it "the construction of a cage — not just of silicon and copper, but of total spiritual and financial oversight."
What sets this book apart is its method. Galade did not just write about AI — he used AI to write it. He ran extensive sessions with large language models, including GPT-4 and Claude, asking them to analyze their own power requirements and infrastructure through a biblical lens Yahoo Finance UK.
The result is what Galade calls an "insider" account. The AI systems effectively described their own environmental footprint and centralized design — and those descriptions, he argues, match the surveillance and control structures outlined in Revelation 13. The self-referential loop is the book's most unusual selling point.
Galade draws a line from the Tower of Babel to today's cloud computing giants. He argues that AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are consolidating data power the same way ancient Babylon consolidated human language. The EU AI Act, he suggests, may be an early step toward the regulated control system described in scripture ADVFN.
The surveillance angle is backed by data. Analysts estimate there will be 1 billion surveillance cameras globally by the end of 2024, most feeding into AI-powered data centers for real-time analysis. Galade ties this to the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies — programmable money he says could fulfill the "mark" requirement described in end-times prophecy.
Techno-optimists dismiss the book's conclusions as fringe theology. But even secular analysts agree on the cost side. Research from the University of California, Riverside found that AI training can consume hundreds of thousands of gallons of fresh water per session. Goldman Sachs has flagged massive capital expenditure on data centers as a potential bubble risk Yahoo Finance.
Evangelical scholars have called the book a "timely warning," while environmentalists say the physical costs Galade documents are real — even if they reject his spiritual conclusions. The book sits at an unusual crossroads: its data is checkable, but its destination is prophetic. It is now available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon ADVFN.
