Infinite Detail

computer bad

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.

Does to cyberpunk what jungle did to reggae.

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.
