Found an interesting talk on science fiction and how it might help with the meaning crisis. I focused on the last portion because it felt relevant to me in particular. Maybe some others can identify.

Fahrt nach #Dortmund ins #DortmunderU zum #HMKV und schaut euch die Ausstellung #WeGrowGrowAndGrow an. Eher was für Erwachsene, weil die immersiven Elemente auf Englisch sind. Kompakt, gratis und – wenn man sich drauf einlässt – sehr ergiebig. Wer "Auslöschung" von #jeffvandermeer mochte, wird da anknüpfen können. Sind Jana Kerima Stolzer und Lex Rütten bei Mastodon?

One of my favorite t-shirts, promoted by author #JeffVandermeer. I had to order it by snail mail and pay with a check. Not enough #Annihilation / #SouthernReach fans out for my taste. #scifi, #ScienceFiction, #WeirdFiction

Borne (2017) von Jeff VanderMeer. Ich fand Annihilation nett, aber das hier ist ein echtes Meisterwerk des Biohorrors und zugleich eine einfühlsame Allegorie auf Mutterschaft und das fragile Gleichgewicht in Beziehungen. Die unglaublich plastische Welt, in der sich eine wild mutierende von Monstern bevölkerte (Post)Natur die Städte zurückholt, lenkt vom emotionalen Kern des Romans nicht ab, sondern verstärkt ihn weiter. Wirklich groß!

Borne (2017) by Jeff VanderMeer. A tender biohorror masterpiece about love and loss and the struggles of maintaining a relationship when a childlike new party disturbs the balance. I'm in awe of how neatly the allegory for motherhood fits into the vivid scenery, never overshadowed by VanderMeer's outbursts of creativity that created the most memorable monsters. I liked Annihilation just fine, but this is the book that I'll come back to.

@adanvers Well, some that come to mind (for various reasons) are #NKJemisin, #NnediOkorafor, #MargaretAtwood, #TananariveDue, #JeffVanderMeer, #PauloBacigalupi, and #SamuelDelaney. I'm not saying any of them match her, but there are overlaps in the ways she wrote & depicted the world.
