A post-apocalyptic novel of the end of humanity. Our extinction is inevitable. Not through some random apocalyptic event, but by the natural decline of the human swarm until its eventual demise. So says entropy in the second law of thermodynamics. Bill Bartles is one of the manifold data washers from the Department of Receipt and Organization of New Content, or DRONC as they prefer to be called. His purpose? Locate new information, clean it up, and add it to the Infinity Drive. Or as he often quips: Find all the knowledge ever created by mankind, strip out the crap, and save it to a little black box, no bigger than a shoebox. That's his brief, simple and sweet. Bartles has it all: a captivating companion, an inner-city apartment mid-way up the tall-tower, and an imminent promotion. For him, life is great-except for his obsession with entropy and its promise that nothing lasts forever. When he digs too deep into the forbidden archives of Aleph-1-the avant-garde CPU that controls the Infinity Drive-Bartles' perfect life is shattered, plunging him into an unrecognizable world of blood-red wastelands, empty mega-cities, and receding oceans. A dangerous place inhabited by new apex predators, where the remnants of humanity struggle on the brink of extinction. Now, locked in the fight of our lives against entropy, Bill Bartles must decide if saving the last of humanity is worth losing the Infinity Drive, and with it, all the knowledge of mankind ... In this stunning debut novel, McGinty brings us science-fiction at its best. Set against an ominous backdrop of desolation and decay, ENTROPY asks the question: with every trivial moment of our time here saved to file, can the human condition continue long after we're gone? Themes: hard science fiction, AI, technology, dystopian, apocalyptic, dying Earth, end-of-humanity Rating: 18+ adult concepts, mild language, mild sexual references, moderate violence and gore
