Descrizione principale
This work investigates data mining phenomenon in a spatial approach, focused on the United States. The results reveal a predilection of "miners" in areas with low energy costs, but not of a rural type, as it could be expected, but rather in geographical proximity to urban areas where it is easier to reach ICT workers and maintenance and assistance services for data "factories". This closeness, however, often triggers conflictual dynamics.
