Notes On Infinity By Austin Taylor

Notes on Infinity is mesmeric . . . it stole my breath and my heart. It’s a grand story of science and startups, a simple story of first love and belonging and a perfect portrait of friendship, family, and that fine line between exhilaration and agony. I couldn’t have loved it more.
Chris Whitaker, author of All the Colours of the Dark

A little like Talking at Night meets Lessons in Chemistry and an absolute must-read for fans of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. But all other books fell out my head as I read it, because I was completely consumed by Zoe and Jack’s world. Full of passion and conflict and surprise, I adored every page. It fired me up and broke my heart: Austin Taylor has such a talent, reminding me what a wild ride reading can and should be. I’ve already told I know everyone to read it!
Claire Daverley, author of Talking at Night

Sweet, thought-provoking, full of surprises

I adored it. I have an absolute fascination in start-ups from colleagues’ stories of Google in its early days. This delivered in that respect, but in so many others, too: love, and partnership, and being the only woman in the room, growing up and deciding who you wish to be. It is very clever, but it has a huge, messy heart, which is exactly what I love in a book.
Abigail Dean, bestselling author of Girl A

The best of books: one I could not put down while also, simultaneously, wishing it was truly infinite. A perfectly realized novel with crystalline characters and a palpable sense of time, historically and of the characters' lives. Austin Taylor's ability to tell a story is superb and NOTES ON INFINITY is a reading experience to savour.
Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet

The brilliant love child of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and The Interestings. It asks all the big questions about existence and meaning and, most importantly, love, but in a way that is so engaging you are swept along by the tide of an enthralling story about tech and billion dollar start-ups. I thought about it the whole time I wasn't reading it and expect to think about it for a long time to come.
Araminta Hall, author of One of the Good Guys

Notes On Infinity is an utterly compelling tale of love, friendship, and the burning desire to succeed – whatever the cost. Think: Lessons in Chemistry meets Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. A bright, brilliant debut from an exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.
Lucy Clarke, bestselling author of The Hike

Taylor shines in her intelligent debut… Thrills with her crackling and science-heavy description of the hothouse startup… Readers will race through the pages to find out what happens next. This is a winner.
Publishers Weekly, starred review

So much more than a love-story – impossible to put into words. Notes on Infinity surprised, delighted and moved me at every turn; a devourable tale of friendship and trust, power and privilege – and, ultimately, of what it is to be human. I didn’t want it to end… and then it did.
Charlotte Philby, author of The End of Summer

It's rare that a book both moves and enthrals me as Notes on Infinity did. Taylor has crafted a smart, compelling read that explores the complicated relationships between truth and ambition; science and ethics; and our desire for immortality and the reality of what it is to be human. It's Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, if the protagonist was Elizabeth Holmes. I loved it.
Katie Bishop, author of The Girls of Summer
