Infomaniacs by Matthew Thurber
A hilarious detective story that manages to critique and explore digital culture, Infomaniacs is marked by the author's restless questioning and heightened sense of the absurd. With the iconic Amy Shit as his Philip Marlow, Thurber looks in on 'The Scriveners of Tweet Street', Albert Radar, a Joseph Beuys-lookalike psychiatrist, a perfectly preserved brain that has never seen the internet, an organic server farm, the Anthropamorphic Task Force, and so much more. But all of this is in service to a tightly plotted thriller.Matthew Thurber is a musician and artist based in Brooklyn. He's the creator of the comic books 1-800-MICE (2011, 2013) and Infomaniacs (2013, 2014). In 2010, Thurber received a New York Foundation for the Arts fiction scholarship for 1-800-MICE, which The Paris Review dubbed the Gravity's Rainbow-Sherlock Holmes-Professor Sutwell-Inspector Clouseau-Silent Spring of comics. In July 2014, his full-length play Mining the Moon was staged at the Brick Theater. Southfirst and Knowmoregames in New York, as well as Weird Things in Toronto, have all featured his work.
