I've finished: This World is Full of Monsters by Jeff VanderMeer

If you want to experience the ideas behind the post-singularity alien invasion VenderMeer is famous for in a short and fast paced package, look no further.

Weird, horrifying and beautifully mind bending.

#LunchtimeReading : Jeff VanderMeer's Borne, the choice for our #Edinburgh SF Book Group this month. I think this is the third of Jeff's books we've picked over the years.

"That's how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live in its reality."

A line from @jeffvandermeer's Annihilation has hung around to haunt us

Damn it, I think I finally went insane. Either that or I wrote a review of Jeff Vandermeer's brand new Area X book, Absolution. You decide.

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.

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.

Bescheid geb: #JeffVandermeer hat in einem Anflug visionärer Überwältigung einen vierten, dicken #AreaX-Roman geschrieben: »Absolution«.
(Geht mir als Salieri-Fan gleich einer ab.) Erscheint im Oktober.

Im Juni gibts vorher 10-Jahre-Jubelausgaben der ersten drei Bände mit neuen Vorwörtern von Karen Joy Fowler, N. K. Jemisin und Helen J. Macdonald, sowie neuen Covern von Pablo Delcan.

Ich hoffe doch sehr, dass der dann auch bei Kunstmann bzw. und/oder Knaur rauskommt.

and finally! wrote about #JeffVandermeer's reissued debut, Veniss Underground, which shows how weird he was to start and also how he's gotten significantly weirder. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2023-04-11/sci-fi-master-jeff-vandermeers-reissued-debut-shows-how-his-grotesqueries-have-grown/
