![]() ![]() This is not a book about a monster that tyrants over a devastation this is not a book about an alien species that encounters the hero and go on adventures this is not a book about the end of the world this is a story of nature, nurture, growth, and communication. ![]() ![]() A memory stamp, a reality I was able to share with the author. As I said, this is not a review, is a recollection. Their stress, their fears, and their will to survive. And I didn't know how much I needed Borne until I made my way through it. Science-fiction, fantasy, alternative reality, the truth was, stories are not simply escapism, but conduits of reality. Throughout the year, I tried to make my mind wander, and focus on a story far from this world. A blend of speculative fiction, fantasy, adventure, and apocalyptic literature, Borne, like other VanderMeer novelsparticularly the books of the award-winning Southern Reach trilogy. Safety and security were challenged, universal and world changing powers were being misused by pretenders, magicians without magic, and people would put themselves at risk to survive and to protect. The three attempts of reading this book happened last year, a year of changes, of urgency, and of miscommunication. ![]()
