If you were captivated by Ken's dangerous mission to protect micro-democracy in Infomocracy, you'll be equally drawn to Shevek's struggle to bridge two radically different societies in The Dispossessed. The novel follows his determined journey to revolutionize communication and challenge entrenched power structures—a goal-driven narrative that questions what kind of world is possible.
If you appreciated the large, varied cast in Infomocracy—from the data-savvy Mishima to the wily Ken—The Space Between Worlds offers a similarly rich ensemble. Here, Cara and her colleagues traverse parallel Earths, each with unique political dynamics, forcing them to collaborate, deceive, and survive within a shifting web of alliances.
If Mishima and Ken's morally gray choices in Infomocracy intrigued you, you'll be fascinated by Baru Cormorant, who is willing to betray friends and lovers to topple an empire from within. Dickinson's protagonist is a masterclass in ambiguous heroism—her journey is filled with difficult decisions, compromise, and the ever-present shadow of moral uncertainty.
If you relished the intricate political strategies and micro-democratic machinations in Infomocracy, you'll love The Just City. Walton brings gods, philosophers, and mortals together to build Plato’s Republic from scratch, and the resulting power plays, debates, and ideological confrontations are as riveting as any election cycle.
If the detailed, plausible worldbuilding of Infomocracy—with its global Information network and micro-democratic society—was what hooked you, Walkaway will immerse you in a near-future defined by open-source utopian experiments and societal reinvention. Doctorow’s attention to technological, cultural, and philosophical detail makes his future feel as tangible as Older's.
