Our extinction is inevitable. Bill Bartles washes data. He cleans the lies and crap from new information before saving it with the rest of the knowledge on the Infinity Drive. Bartles has it all: a captivating companion, an inner-city apartment mid-way up the tall-tower, and an imminent promotion. For him, life is great-except for his obsession with entropy and its promise that nothing lasts forever. When he digs too deep into the forbidden archives of Aleph-1-the avant-garde CPU that controls the Infinity Drive-Bartles' perfect life is shattered, plunging him into an unrecognizable world of blood-red wastelands, empty mega-cities, and receding oceans. A dangerous place inhabited by new apex predators, where the remnants of humanity struggle on the brink of extinction. Now, locked in the fight of our lives against entropy, Bill Bartles must decide if saving the last of humanity is worth losing the Infinity Drive, and with it, all the knowledge of mankind … In this stunning debut novel, McGinty brings us science-fiction at its best. Set against an ominous backdrop of desolation and decay, ENTROPY asks the question: with every trivial moment of our time here saved to file, can the human condition continue long after we're gone?
