Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy: Annihilation; Authority; Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer

5.0

I am only half way through the trilogy - but very much impressed. Love the way new info is unpeeled and restructures what you already know. How the ordinary becomes estranged. The fundamental driving question of the work -so far -being: what the actual .... is going on. Reminds me of William Gibson (except without any computers), Emily St John Mandel (written with more of an outline in mind up front I bet), HP Lovecraft (but less Gothic) - all of the above in a good way.
