Infinite Detail by Tim Maughan

5.0

This book is quite a refreshing read, it’s very interesting. For a number of reasons:
1. I’m a very visual person; naturally when I read books, I tend to paint pictures in my head following the stories. This book is really well written & filled with a tons of descriptions about the environment/setting & characters as well.
2. Our digital age & its issues; in-line with what we’re living in, it raises the red flags about how we are all overly dependent on the Internet. Without it, it seems like we would be lost & like we’ve disappeared as a whole. It also grants us freedom from the eyes of large corporations.

I, for one, turn wide-eyed & excited when introduced to new technologies & apps. I truly love being involved with all things digital. It comes to a point when reading about the fall of the internet; I actually felt the fear of being disconnect. This shows how I would definitely be lost if the said fall of internet does come true one day.
3. Love & inclusiveness; this book does feature romance in gay & straight relationships. It even shared about the tragedy of losing our loved ones; in a particular one where they just realised how deeply in love they are with each other but were caught in such a bad time between a lover’s quarrel & the start of doomsday.

Summary:
I have fallen in love with this book from the moment I read about a “psychic” girl (she isn’t actually, just in the hands of technology — turned into one) & the description of a high-tech society. I felt thrilled (& horrified) when reading about the outcome of the fall of internet. Through this journey with Infinite Detail, many emotions have been drawn out from me. It’s written fantastically. Please read this if you are one who tend to be absorbed by social media or simply curious to find out what (possible) doomsday awaits us for our very digital generation.
