Publisher's summary

2018 B.R.A.G. Medallion winner

2017 Wishing Shelf Book Awards finalist

A few years from now, an inventor named Pax creates the "Univiz", a combination of augmented and virtual reality glasses that revolutionize how people communicate and interact with the world around them. The Univiz renders all other personal computing devices obsolete, and Pax goes on to become the head of Omnitech, the most powerful tech company in history.

But due to a recent downturn in sales, Pax finds himself suddenly facing a shareholder revolt. His only hope to retain control of the company he founded lies in a secret project he believes will revolutionize human cognition the way the Univiz transformed personal computing.

However, Pax's plans are upended by a worldwide computer virus that attacks people through the internet of things (IoT). Within days, the virus threatens to destroy civilization, and Pax is forced to help deal with the crisis.

He meets a woman named Alethia, the brilliant leader of a mysterious society that has developed a quantum computer exponentially more powerful than any supercomputer ever built. Alethia reveals a devastating truth about humanity to Pax, before forcing him to make a choice that, no matter what he decides, will affect the future of the human race.

An eerie, believable vision of the near future, The Infinet is a speculative fiction thriller that can’t be missed!

Good, if not great, first novel

I almost returned it after the first few minutes of listening to the overly dramatic narration but am glad that I persevered. It has an interesting premise but suffers from too many information dumps and a weak narrator. I liked that the story is interlaced with science. The characters are interesting but could use more backstory. Overall, this is a good story and is worth your time.

Great spec sci!

A really fun story, with just enough humor thrown in to really get to know the characters. The narrator was good, but could work on his female voices a bit. Thank you!

interesting concept, but

The plot was like an Austin Powers movie, and the female voices were like Alvin the chipmunk. A huge amount of preachy narrative. A lot of potential, but needs a lot of development.
