I've found myself seeking instead are philosophies of entropy and survival that is, fiction that addresses multifaceted decay and the psychology needed to survive it.
Enter the Southern Reach books. At the time I first read Annihilation during the run-up to the 2016 election, it was a welcome breath of fungal, fetid air.
Other fiction of the time seemed determined to suggest there was no need for alarm, things couldn't be so bad, anything broken could be fixed. Could it, though?
