Infinite Detail
Ratings7
Average rating3.6
Very believable post internet/apocalypse novel. Almost a little too much on the nose for January 2020 with the critique of the internet dependent world and how it seems how nobody knows how all this works. Great characters with realistic stories and are understandable in their reactions to the events in the novel. Recommended.
I'm sorry that this is a bit mean spirited. But the book read like the author wants to show us that he has a real nice thesaurus. The premise of the book is great! But I couldn't get over the writing style. I did not finish this book.
I enjoyed this. It's been a while since I've read a good nerdy punk scifi/dystopia. We're in the near future full of data and algorithms and everyone's rocking smart glasses. But there's also techno-terrorism and after setting off some EMPs the whole power and network grids are knocked offline. The second timeline is 10 years after the fact and humanity's slow at reestablishing order. Most people still cling to the past, the data and the personal connections they lost. And maybe revolutions shouldn't be jumpstarted without a clear vision and how-to action-plan for how to rebuild.
It's titled infinite detail, but I would have liked more detail on some of the plot and the characters.
