Golden Brown<p>Rewatching Scavengers Reign while rereading Borne by Jeff Vandermeer and it’s wild how many parallels there are. The intersection of the natural and the human made, personhood, biotech, a creature that can’t stop consuming. There are more than this. Highly recommend both the show and the book. </p><p><a href="https://heads.social/tags/scavengersreign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scavengersreign</span></a> <a href="https://heads.social/tags/borne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>borne</span></a> <a href="https://heads.social/tags/jeffvandermeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jeffvandermeer</span></a> <a href="https://heads.social/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a></p>
fantasyguide<p>Zufall? Freund schenkte mir die ersten beiden Bände der Comicreihe Transmetropolitan von Warren Ellis und Darick Robertson und parallel dazu lese ich grad Veniss Underground von Jeff VanderMeer und nun vermischen sich da in meinem Kopf die durchgedrehten Megastädte zu einem zentralen hyperkapitalistischen Schwarzen Molo-Moloch.</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/JeffVanderMeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JeffVanderMeer</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/venissunderground" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>venissunderground</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/transmetropolitan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transmetropolitan</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/warrenellis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>warrenellis</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/darickrobertson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>darickrobertson</span></a></p>

Stjärna<p>Borne (2017) by Jeff VanderMeer. A tender biohorror masterpiece about love and loss and the struggles of maintaining a relationship when a childlike new party disturbs the balance. I'm in awe of how neatly the allegory for motherhood fits into the vivid scenery, never overshadowed by VanderMeer's outbursts of creativity that created the most memorable monsters. I liked Annihilation just fine, but this is the book that I'll come back to.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Borne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Borne</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/JeffVanDerMeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JeffVanDerMeer</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HeikeLovesLists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeikeLovesLists</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BestBooks2022" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BestBooks2022</span></a></p>
