Infodumps are tricky. We all prefer to see details skillfully woven into dialog and action or otherwise distributed in a way to avoid drawing attention to it. Some authors do quite well up to a point and then step over the line. I happened to recently read John Scalzi's Old Man's War trilogy recently. I started off impressed with his weaving and then, at times, it fell on its face.
