In our rapidly changing world of social media, everyday people are
more and more able to sort themselves into affinity groups based on
finer and finer criteria. In the near future of Robert Charles
Wilson's The Affinities, this process is supercharged by new
analytic technologies - genetic, brain-mapping, and behavioural. To
join one of the twenty-two Affinities is to change one's life.
Young Adam Fisk takes the suite of tests to see if he qualifies for
any of the Affinities and finds that he's a match for Tau, one of
the largest. Joining Tau is utopian at first. Problems in all areas
of Adam's life begin to simply sort themselves out as he becomes
part of a worldwide network of people dedicated to helping one
another - to helping him. But there are other Affinities than Tau,
with differing skills, strengths, and views about what to do with
their newfound powers. As all twenty-two Affinities go global, they
rapidly chip away at the power of governments, of corporations, of
all the institutions of the old world. Then, with dreadful
inevitability, the Affinities begin to go to war with one another.
For Adam, and for the world, human life will never be the same.
