PRAISE FOR INFOMOCRACY
“A fast-paced, post-cyberpunk political thriller… If you always wished to put The Western Wing in a particle accelerator with Snow Crash to see what would happen, go through this publication.” -Potential Gladstone, author of Last First Snow
‘Wise, ambitious, bursting with provocative extrapolations, Infomocracy is the big-data-big-ideas-techno-analytical-microdemoglobal-post-everything politics thriller we’ve been looking forward to.’ -Ken Liu, author of The Sophistication of Kings
‘In the mid-21st century, your biggest threat isn’t Artificial Intelligence-it’s other folks. Yet the passionate, partisan, politics and ultimately fallible women and men fighting because of their beliefs may also be Infomocracy’s greatest hope. An inspiring publication in what we frail humans could still achieve, if we learn to work together.’ -Karl Schroeder, author of Lockstep and the Virga saga
