Why read it?

1 author picked The Infinite State as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A second sci-fi! Maybe I do like it after all? This is another great example of sci-fi that you don't need a PHD to understand. Gripping plot lines, brilliantly realised characters and world building that feels inspired by WWII. I got Star Wars, Warhammer, Nazi and Roman empire vibes from this. It's fantastic, can't wait for the sequel.
