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. 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 At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Centenal Cycle
Centenal Cycle
6 books in catalog
Micro-democracy and global information networks frame the political science fiction of The Centenal Cycle, a speculative novel series that begins with Infomocracy. Author Malka Older integrates deep expertise in sociology, governance, and international humanitarian response to craft imaginative narratives about global information management, institutional design, and political systems.
Malka Older is a writer, sociologist, and humanitarian aid worker who earned degrees from Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and Sciences Po. Prior to establishing her literary career, she spent over eight years in international humanitarian aid and development, eventually serving as the 2015 Senior Fellow for Technology and Risk at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. She serves as the Executive Director of Global Voices, an international network of writers, editors, and translators providing community journalism while advocating for indigenous and minority languages, media literacy, digital rights, and online freedom of expression. Older is also a Faculty Associate at Arizona State University's School for the Future of Innovation in Society, where she teaches courses on predictive fictions and the humanitarian-development spectrum, hosts the Science Fiction Sparkle Salon, and acts as an Associate Researcher at the Centre de Sociologie des Organisations.
Older's fiction examines the structural mechanisms of governance, technology, institutional resilience, and social cohesion across complex future societies. In The Centenal Cycle—comprising Infomocracy, Null States, and State Tectonics—she analyzes micro-democracies driven by global search engines and data algorithms. Her shorter fiction, including the collection ...And Other Disasters and the standalone work Narrative Disorder, focuses on themes of identity, otherness, artificial intelligence, and human adaptation during crisis. In her Jupiter-based science-fiction mystery series starring investigator Mossa and academic Pleiti, Older combines traditional detective procedural elements with scholarly inquiry and romance, investigating societal structures on a terraformed gas giant.
