Robinson, the master of fast-paced stories blending horror, science fiction, and thrillers, tackles his most ambitious subject to date: reality itself. An amalgam of the works of J.J. Abrams and Ridley Scott, Infinite is a bold SF novel exploring the vastness of space and a man's desire to exist, find love, and alter the course of his life.

This is exactly the genre of science fiction that I like to read: using the future to explore themes of identity, consciousness, artificial intelligence, and the nature of reality. It wasn't as “deep” as some works in this vein (like those of Greg Egan), and sometimes the characters rushed too readily to conclusions which I thought warranted more investigation. But it was a page-turner, keeping me engaged all the way through with cliffhanger chapter-endings that repeatedly rushed from crazy scenario to new revelations.
I'd only caution that the opening chapters, in particular, are fairly gross, with unnecessarily-gory or fetid descriptions of the protagonist's unpleasant situation and the ways he has to cope with it. If you can get past those, you'll likely enjoy the rest.
I love it when the story manages to trick me, and then pulls the run from under my feet with a twist. If you like science fiction about world simulations and AI, this is your book.
This was a great book that unfortunately was slightly less affecting than it should have been thanks to an extremely sign posted plot twist.
This book made me rethink the nature of reality as we know it.
