Calibration 74 by William F. Aicher, William F. Aicher
5.0
This is described as an experimental novella but I saw it more as a poetic journey into not only the main character's mind, but my own as well. There were so many lines in this story that made me stop, say "wow," and re-read them several times. I've highlighted several of those moments on my Goodreads account. Each calibration is a journey unto itself exploring issues like the quest for meaning, purpose, and understanding. There were snippets of other pieces of work and some pop culture references stitched into the narrative which I really enjoyed. Some calibrations provided clarity while others left me with even more questions.
This is a stunning and masterful piece of abstract fiction written during a time of great uncertainty in our world. This will be a piece of art in written form that I return to time and time again. It is so hard to describe because, like the human experience, each piece has meaning but the whole is breathtaking and beautiful. Highly recommend.
