From bestselling author M. R. Carey comes a brilliant genre-defying story of humanity's expansion across millions of dimensions—and the AI technology that might see it all come to an end. Perfect for readers of The Space Between Worlds and Adrian Tchaikovsky.

INFINITY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds – except that they’re really just the one world, Earth, in many different realities. And when an AI threat arises that could destroy everything the Pandominion has built, they'll eradicate it by whatever means necessary, no matter the cost to human life.

Scientist Hadiz Tambuwal is looking for a solution to her own Earth’s environmental collapse when she stumbles across the secret of inter-dimensional travel. It could save everyone on her dying planet, but now she’s walked into the middle of a war on a scale she never dreamed of.

And she needs to choose a side before it kills her.

What the critics say

"This audiobook is nothing short of outstanding."—AudioFile (Starred Review)
"Infinity Gate is a powerful exploration of the near-future, skillfully and seamlessly weaving different realities and different iterations of AI.

"A master storyteller." —io9
"M.R. Carey hefts astonishing storytelling power with plainspoken language, heartbreaking choices, and sincerity like an arrow to the heart." —Locus on The Book of Koli
"A thought-provoking and deeply engaging story ... profoundly and doggedly humane."—C. A. Fletcher on The Book of Koli
"Carey writes with compassion and fire - strange and surprising and humane."
—Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls on The Boy on the Bridge
"Heartfelt, remorseless and painfully human...as fresh as it is terrifying. A jewel."—Joss Whedon on The Girl With All the Gifts

it felt like everything unraveled 10 minutes before the end of the book, leaving me with little desire to read the next one. I will admit that I am far too hung up on certain technical details by the author's lack of understanding of how AIs or their respective hardware Works was frustrating given that the entire book centers around AI. To say that a house-sized AI is the second largest AI ever built is laughable when you consider that grok 3 utilized 200, 000 gpus to train it and required the equivalent of a nuclear power plant to power it.

in the end, and I mean the very very end, it felt like it just devolved into a bunch of people bickering at each other while wasting an opportunity for some character development. the voice performance was excellent but I think it's quality also participated in the annoying nature of it given that the accent of Moon as she whines and complains. she just gets on your nerves so much. there's just something about that accent when it's it's serving up a bunch of whining and complaining that drives me up the wall.

great right up until the end

I almost didn’t try out this novel - I’d read a few other “timeline” stories and wasn’t that enthralled, but I’m glad I tried out this one. I haven’t enjoyed a “sideways in time” story this much since I read the great “At The Narrow Passage” series back when I was a teenager in the 1970s.

The characters are well-developed and interesting, the plot is clever, well-crafted, and has the tiniest traces of dry humour, and I just bought the sequel/finale (Aargh! Why couldn’t it have been expanded to more books?). It was also an interesting variation to place the action in Lagos, Nigeria, instead of the usual USA/European setting, it made it a interesting alien environment, even when we’re near our own timeline. Once I finish the next book, I’m going to start going through his other books - I enjoyed the movie “The Girl with all the Gifts” and I’d like to read the original. Give this one a try, you’ll like it.

A compelling and well-crafted timeline story
