Harald KlinkeSince almost nobody seems to have replied to this question yet, I’d like to offer a few thoughts.
I still think The Stack remains foundational: it gave us a way to see computation not as apps, but as a planetary architecture where governance and infrastructure become inseparable.
But the stack has changed since 2016. Cloud is now more visibly a power architecture; AI has made compute, chips, energy, data and models geopolitical resources; and “digital sovereignty” has moved from theory into policy.
The question is no longer only: who controls software, data and platforms?
Today the harder question is: who controls compute, chips, cloud, models, interfaces, standards and the operational control plane?
My answer: The Stack is still foundational, but no longer sufficient. What we need now is something like a theory of operational sovereignty for AI infrastructure.
Apart from that I recommend @[email protected]‘s reading suggestions:

To understand where we stand in this debate, see also the UN University‘s report.
