Johanna Lowe es una joven de dieciocho años que quiere estudiar Ingeniería Genética para ser como sus padres e intentar hallar, al igual que ellos, una forma de acabar con la Decadencia que tanto la aterra.

Pero lo encontrará truncado al hallar el cuerpo sin vida de su padre, tirado en el suelo de su propio laboratorio. Johanna descubrirá que sus genes albergan secretos que le han ocultado toda su vida; tendrá que decidir entre la Decadencia y la muerte,no solo para sí misma, sino para toda la Humanidad; se enfrentará a la temible Agencia de Protección Genética, que defiende la inmortalidad por encima de cualquier cosa; se unirá a compañeros que comparten su misión y tratará de mantener, a lo largo de aventuras y desventuras en los bajos fondos de Chicago, sus ideales altruistas y su corazón sincero.

Infinite Detail: A Novel
by Tim MaughanA LOCUS AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL!The Guardian's Pick for Best Science Fiction Book of the Year!A timely and uncanny portrait of a world in the wake of fake news, diminished privacy, and a total shutdown of the InternetBEFORE: In Bristol’s center lies the Croft, a digital no-man’s-land cut off from the surveillance, Big Data dependence, and corporate-sponsored, globally hegemonic aspirations that have overrun the rest of the world. Ten years in, it’s become a center of creative counterculture. But it’s fraying at the edges, radicalizing from inside. How will it fare when its chief architect, Rushdi Mannan, takes off to meet his boyfriend in New York City—now the apotheosis of the new techno-utopian global metropolis?AFTER: An act of anonymous cyberterrorism has permanently switched off the Internet. Global trade, travel, and communication have collapsed. The luxuries that characterized modern life are scarce. In the Croft, Mary—who has visions of people presumed dead—is sought out by grieving families seeking connections to lost ones. But does Mary have a gift or is she just hustling to stay alive? Like Grids, who runs the Croft’s black market like personal turf. Or like Tyrone, who hoards music (culled from cassettes, the only medium to survive the crash) and tattered sneakers like treasure.The world of Infinite Detail is a small step shy of our own: utterly dependent on technology, constantly brokering autonomy and privacy for comfort and convenience. With Infinite Detail, Tim Maughan makes the hitherto-unimaginable come true: the End of the Internet, the End of the World as We Know It.
