State Tectonics by Malka Older digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

One of the best books of 2018, according to Kirkus Reviews, the Chicago Review of Books, and BookRiot.

Campbell Award finalist Malka Older's State Tectonics concludes The Centenal Cycle, the cyberpunk poltical thriller series that began with Infomocracy and is a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Series.


The future of democracy must evolve or die.

The last time Information held an election, a global network outage, two counts of sabotage by major world governments, and a devastating earthquake almost shook micro-democracy apart. Five years later, it's time to vote again, and the system that has ensured global peace for 25 years is more vulnerable than ever.

Unknown enemies are attacking Information's network infrastructure. Spies, former superpowers, and revolutionaries sharpen their knives in the shadows. And Information's best agents question whether the data monopoly they've served all their lives is worth saving, or whether it's time to burn the world down and start anew.

The Centenal Cycle
#1 Infomocracy
#2 Null States
#3 State Tectonics

State Tectonics Reviews

3.5
“It’s a good book, easy to read and follow.”
“The last third was infinitely better than the first two thirds, which were so boring I kept falling asleep. Satisfying conclusion to the series which provides some food for thought but really, most of it was just too dull. Maryam isn't a very compelling protagonist, she's the type that works better as a secondary character. Surprisingly, after I wasn't thrilled with their parts in Null States, I enjoyed Ken and Mishima here a lot. Too bad we didn't get more Sayaka though! As a whole, The Centenal Cycle is certainly a thought-provoking and important trilogy, well worth picking up.”
