From bestselling author M. R. Carey comes a brilliant genre-defying story of humanity's expansion across millions of dimensions—and the AI technology that might see it all come to an end. "A fascinating window onto a dangerous and multifaceted universe.” —Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time INFINITY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds. Except that they’re really just one world, Earth, in many different realities. And when an A.I. threat arises that could destroy everything the Pandominion has built, they’ll eradicate it by whatever means necessary. Scientist Hadiz Tambuwal is looking for a solution to her own Earth’s environmental collapse when she stumbles across the secret of inter-dimensional travel, a secret that could save everyone on her dying planet. It leads her into the middle of a war on a scale she never dreamed of. And she needs to choose a side before every reality pays the price. "A genuine treat for SF fans: an epic multiverse tale that moves like a thriller." —Kirkus (starred review) "Readers will be wowed." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Infinity Gate, with its in-depth science and rich characterization, is a must-read." —Booklist (starred review)

Reviews with the most likes.
Overall a pretty enjoyable book but it just didn't have the plot or character development to make it completely satisfying. Not helped by the fact the book finishes on a cliffhanger with most arcs unfinished in preparation for a sequel.
The concept of the pandomonium planet collective and “The Registry” (Think Thunderhead from Sythe) really intrigued; but, they got barely more than a mention as to their existence. Hopefully book 2 actually explores these concepts more and brings the much needed depth to the world.
1.5/5 stars
This book has a lot to say about AI, slavery, consciousness, gender and much more.
Unfortunately it does it in the most boring, most unlogical way possible. The plot can only happen in the way it does because everyone involved acts in a way no one would ever act. There are parts of the book where you know exactly what is going to happen, because you have read this all before, done in better ways from others authors yet you slog through the pages only to be surprised how unoriginal this all is.
Instead of exploring the vast multiverse with its many wonders and species we get treated to pages and pages of the boring and sad lifes of the unlikeable protagonists.
Skip this one. Read ‘The Long Earth' instead or watch Sliders.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
