Just watched this... good setup, not sure what the purpose of the film was, the ending was.... very meta and ambiguous

Highly recommend the first book that the movie was based on. To a certain extent enjoyed the two sequels of the original trilogy.

Jeff Vandermere just released a new prequel book called Absolution that was a little bit tougher of a read for me for some reason (probably because it has been nearly 8 years since I read the original series), but still fascinating if you like the area X books.

He has some other weird fiction books that are definitely worth scoping out too: Borne is very different from annihilation but the characters have really stuck in my head since I read it. Almost everything he touches seems to touch on humanity’s relationship with the environment.

Just picked it up today over lunch! Quick side note: I love the covers for these books - really eye-catching

I hope you enjoy! It’s kinda like an environmentalist’s Roadside Picnic.
