Ten years in, it’s become a middle of innovative counterculture. But about Infinite Details: A Novel it’s fraying in the edges, radicalizing from inside. How does it fare when its chief architect, Rushdi Mannan, will take off to meet his boyfriend in NY City-now the apotheosis of the brand new techno-utopian global metropolis?

AFTER: An action of anonymous cyberterrorism has permanently powered down the Internet. Global trade, travel, and conversation have got collapsed. The luxuries that characterized modern existence are scarce. In the Croft, Mary-who offers visions of individuals presumed dead-is searched for by grieving households seeking contacts to lost ones. But will Mary have a gift or can be she just hustling to stay alive? Like Grids, who runs the Croft’s dark marketplace like personal turf. Or like Tyrone, who hoards music (culled from cassettes, the just moderate to survive the crash) and tattered tennis shoes like treasure.

The world of Infinite Detail is a little step shy of our own: utterly reliant on technology, constantly brokering autonomy and privacy for comfort and convenience. With Infinite Fine detail, Tim Maughan makes the hitherto-unimaginable come true: the End of the web, the End from the World as WE REALIZE It.
