Tim Maughan is a master of making the invisible visible. In Infinite Detail, he forces us to consider the inner workings of systems so ubiquitous that we can barely remember what it was like before we had them, let alone project what a future might be like without them. The premise of the novel is the near-instant dystopia created when all of the internet suddenly stops working. This scenario immediately brings into sharp focus one of the deep ironies about technologies of any kind – the higher the percentage of people who use said technology, the lower the percentage of people who have any idea of how that technology actually works. When home computers first became available, the early adopters were ones who didn’t even need an operating system to get things done on their machines, while today interfaces have been honed to such a degree that children can navigate them before they even learn to read. Given our current levels of utter dependence on decentralized internet-based systems coupled with widespread ignorance of how they work, it is frighteningly easy to imagine how quickly things would devolve in their unplanned absence.As with all the best dystopian fiction, or any fiction for that matter, there are no easy answers for who is to blame for the book’s state of affairs, what the correct solution is, or whether it’s even worth trying to rebuild the systems that were destroyed. Maughan manages to weave in ideas about surveillance, global capitalism, supply chains, electronic music, the nature of creativity, memory, and kinda-sorta-time-travel so deftly and seamlessly that it is difficult to imagine a nascent version of the novel in which any of those elements were absent. The excellent interview with Maughan included at the end of the audiobook reveals the ways that the author’s journalism, and travels in pursuit of the same, informed the writing of the novel and vice versa, and his deep understanding of the many varied themes is apparent.And oh, the audiobook! The magnificent actor Joe Sims (of Broadchurch) voices both male and female characters from America, Ireland, Bristol, and various other parts of the UK so distinctly, skillfully, and enthusiastically that the book is an absolute joy to listen to despite the bleak subject matter. (The one slipup I noticed was when an American character angrily shouts something about PRIV-uh-see rather than PRY-vuh-see, but even that was a treat.) It is testament to how much I loved this book that I ultimately bought it in every available medium – audiobook because audiobooks rule, ebook because there were so many passages I wanted to look up and go back to, and of course print, because who knows when I might wake up to find myself in a world where it’s the only medium available.
I first read Maughan via novellas and short stories 8 years ago and have been anxiously awaiting this debut novel. No one shines the light on the gritty side of technology the way Maughan does. Sure you could classify this as a technothriller, post-cyberpunk, dystopian novel, but genre classifications don't really do this book justice. It's gritty and smart and scary (because of it's realism) and everything that a great book should be.
Cyberpunk is dead. Don't let anyone tell you different. There's a reason Gibson isn't writing it anymore, and neither is Tim Maugham. It's easy to label this post-cyberpunk, but it's not. It's speculative fiction at its best. It takes today, and advances it slightly up he timeline to create a cognitive dissonance of the now.The characters are compelling, the prose clean and tight. It's a great book from an author I've followed since 2012's Paintwork. Tim knows his stuff. And by stuff I mean "craft." Yes, he also understands tech, but so do any number of sci-fi authors who cannot actually craft a story. This is an important novel which I hope will be recognized when the awards come around.Buy it if you like sci-fi. Buy it if you don't. Buy it if today feels weirder than yesterday. This book won't change that, but it'll make you feel less alone in the weirdness that is the plastic now.
This is an excellent book. The writing is clear, powerful, and to the point. The themes are timely but also durable. I would hesitate to call it a dystopia. (Dystopia is often more a question of the character's point of view on an imagined society than upon a society itself.) "Infinite Detail" resists such easy categorization. The novel reads more like realism than dystopia. While the novel is concerned with technology and the future, and it operates on a speculative premise, "Infinite Detail" is naturalistic in its details, characterization, and delivery. It is the sort of subversive science fiction that is more needed than ever yet remains in short supply. It's a good book. It's got heart.
This was a doozy of a book to read on what turned out to be the longest blackout in recent past. Although to be precise this novel isn’t apocalypse by blackout so much as it is apocalypse by disconnect. Yes, the power goes out, but the main paralyzing factor is that a population so cripplingly attached to its gadgets and instant and constant connectivity suddenly finds that dependency taken…nay, ripped away suddenly, brutally and irreversibly. So in a way it’s very much an apocalypse now, a very timely dystopian read for the current generation. The story is told through multiple perspectives and timelines of before and after and as such execution at times got somewhat busy and confusing…or maybe disjointed is a more apt description. But it did work, was considerably compelling and read surprisingly quickly for such a hefty volume. I found it especially clever the way the author utilized the themes of constant barter of convenience for privacy that seems so prevalent in the modern world. Technology descriptions and world building were quite interesting too. And it was seriously eerie to read a book on a day without power, knowing there was no way to look any information up, post a review or even a recharge the kindle the book was on. One of those infinite details we tend to take for granted on daily basis until it suddenly isn’t there. This novel has a lot of clever things to say about the world as we know it, shaped by internet and the world that might follow, without it. Bleak, heavy, alarmingly realistic end of the world. Recommended for discerning dystopian genre fans.
