It’s been twenty years and two election cycles since Information, a powerful search engine monopoly, pioneered the switch from warring nation-states to global microdemocracy.
Malka Older’s novel Infomocracy, out from Tor.com Publishing this past June, asks how information overload and democratic elections will merge as the 21st century unfolds. Who gets put in charge of facts? Will geography matter? The possibilities are intriguing and complex.
Infomocracy is free to download, worldwide, from now until the end of November 9th (EST)
On November 8th and 9th only, if you sign up for Tor.com Publishing’s monthly newsletter, they will send you the ebook edition of Infomocracy for free.
