Three bohemians of various artistic golden ages of the past—an ambitious poet, a debaucherous actor, and a tormented feminist—struggle to assert their vision of utopia against an ever-expanding transhumanist future. Through many lives, from Paris to New York to Berlin, they will offer an alternative to a digitally immortal society that is devouring the past.
Combining historical, contemporary, and speculative genres, The Infinitists is as ambitious in style and voice as David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas with an iconoclastic core made up of the multifaceted avant-garde and activist movements it pays homage to—such as Romanticism, Symbolism, Decadence, Modernism, Dada, Surrealism, Existentialism, the Situationists, Confessional poetry, Second-wave Feminism, Postmodernism, Anarchism, and Occupy Wall Street.
