Short and sweet yet complex and abstract. The artwork is trippy as hell, and the themes are timeless (pun very well intended). While they manage to get their points across, the writers should have made an effort to develop this world a little more, to give the story more depth, and breathe more life into the characters. What a missed opportunity.

Fascinating exploration of time from three different perspectives, each tied to a character striving for some semblance of immortality and understanding of his place in the universe. I can't come close to understanding Negarestani on a line-by-line basis; visually, this was not for me either. Yet the core idea here is easy to latch onto: the past, present, and future coexist in synchronicity. Something deeply horrifying, too, when considering the shared element of trauma found in this and CYCLONOPEDIA: your life, your experience, your memory, and your pain is not yours at all but, rather, "an instance of unconscious automatism".

interesting way of showing otherwise very dry writings about the concept of time, that are in reality extremely mindbending if you think about them hard enough.
Also some of the best art ive seen in a long while, almost all of the full page and double pages were breathtaking

Mind boggling but really good! Combination of theory and popular(? digestible? not completely abstracted) art is really great. Definitely a lot more decipherable than Reza's other works which I don't think I'll be able to attempt for a long while. Keith Tilford's art is absolutely gorgeous and he does an amazing job with the comic medium.
