Description
Infomaniacs is a graphic novel that explores the inner workings of the internet. A hilarious detective story, it critiques and documents digital culture with cheeky humor. Readers will find their own online obsessions reflected in this work. The narrative follows Amy Shit as she investigates various characters, including Albert Radar, a psychiatrist, and an organic server farm. These quirky personae are skillfully woven into a tightly plotted thriller that moves at a fast pace. Matthew Thurber's deft drawing brings the twists and turns to life. Accessible and extremely funny, Infomaniacs is marked by the author's restless questioning of the absurd. A tour-de-force that could be seen as a commentary on the digital age, this book is a worthwhile read for those interested in exploring the internet's outer reaches.
