About this listen
It's been 20 years and two election cycles since Information, a powerful search engine monopoly, pioneered the switch from warring nation-states to global microdemocracy. The corporate coalition party Heritage has won the last two elections. With another election on the horizon, the Supermajority is in tight contention, and everything's on the line.
With power comes corruption. For Ken, this is his chance to do right by the idealistic Policy1st party and get a steady job in the big leagues. For Domaine, the election represents another staging ground in his ongoing struggle against the pax democratica. For Mishima, a dangerous Information operative, the whole situation is a puzzle: How do you keep the wheels running on the biggest political experiment of all time when so many have so much to gain?
Infomocracy is Malka Older's debut novel.

A game of two parts
It’s a pity Audible doesn’t let you do split ratings as the first 2/3rds of this is 2 stars. The first part is very dry, made worse by the narrator. However in the last third of the book, the plot kicks into high gear for roller coaster ride of a story that has a rather abrupt ending.

Performance inconsistent and too fast
Had to listen on 0.7 speed to be able to follow the story - the narration was far too fast, and their style was not great for the content of the book. I can’t help thinking I would have followed the story better and enjoyed the book more with a different narrator.

not great
The book was unconvincing and chaotic. I felt no empathy with any of the characters or scenarios. struggled on with it most of the way through, but couldn't find the motivation to persist with it until the end

ouch my ears
Really should have listened to a sample on this first, I couldn't stand the robotic voice which massively distracted from the narrative and led me to giving up on this after 20 minutes.
