The Infinite Future is a mind-bending novel that melds two addictive tales in one. In the first, we meet three broken people, joined by an obsession with a forgotten Brazilian science-fiction author named Salgado-MacKenzie. There's Danny, a writer who's been scammed by a shady literary award committee; Sergio, journalist turned sub-librarian in So Paulo; and Harriet, an excommunicated Mormon historian in Salt Lake City, who years ago corresponded with the reclusive Brazilian writer. The motley trio sets off to discover his identity, and whether his fabled masterpiece - never published - actually exists. Did his inquiries into the true nature of the universe yield something so enormous that his mind was blown for good? In the second half, Wirkus gives us the lost masterpiece itself - the actual text of The Infinite Future, Salgado-MacKenzie's wonderfully weird magnum opus. The two stories merge in surprising and profound ways. Part science fiction, part academic satire, and part book-lover's quest, this wholly original novel captures the heady way that stories inform and mirror our lives. Audiobook Cast of Narrators: Members Reviews: Mormon Lit Just a head's up, it might be worth noting that this book is effectively a piece of Mormon literature as much as it is pseudo-sci-fi. Most of the characters are practicing mormons, and while clearly not a tract, Mormonism is discussed and defended and a lot of Mormon dogma gets milled over (a central character is Mormon President). Your mileage may vary, I never felt like I was being preached to or converted but you will also notice a lack of things outside of the Mormon reckoning, like cussing, sex or the existence of homosexuals. Some readers will have no problem with this, others who might should consider themselves tipped off. Loved this! I thought it was a fantastic story. It is a quest story essentially, filled with intriguing characters. It has a scifi twist, which I love. The ending will divide people and while I might have liked a little more resolution, I was entirely enchanted by the journey. Highly recommended. The readers were brilliant.
