Summary:
This program includes a bonus interview between your author and journalist Brian Product owner.
A timely and uncanny family portrait of a world in the wake of fake news, diminished personal privacy, and a complete shutdown of the Internet.
BEFORE: In Bristol’s center lies the Croft, an electronic no-man’s-land take off from the surveillance, Big Data dependence, and corporate-sponsored, globally hegemonic aspirations that have overrun all of those other world. A decade in, it’s turn into a center of creative counterculture. But about Infinite Details: A Novel it’s fraying in the sides, radicalizing from inside. How will it fare when its key architect, Rushdi Mannan, takes off to meet his partner in New York City-now the apotheosis of the brand new techno-utopian global metropolis?
AFTER: An action of anonymous cyberterrorism offers permanently powered down the Internet. Global trade, travel, and communication have got collapsed. The luxuries that characterized modern life are scarce. In the Croft, Mary-who has visions of individuals presumed dead-is searched for by grieving households seeking connections to lost types. But will Mary have something special or is certainly she just hustling to remain alive? Like Grids, who runs the Croft’s black marketplace like personal turf. Or like Tyrone, who hoards music (culled from cassettes, the just medium to survive the crash) and tattered sneakers like treasure.
The world of Infinite Detail is a little step shy of our very own: utterly dependent on technology, constantly brokering autonomy and privacy for comfort and convenience. With Infinite Details, Tim Maughan makes the hitherto-unimaginable come true: the finish of the web, the End from the World as We Know It.
