Mid-singularity sci-fi a la The End of Evangelion that went to WILD places and was (for me) unputdownable. Readers of This is How You End the Time War will love this one. A new classic of queer speculative fiction. ( ) Imagine a utopia. Aliens have arrived and almost everyone partakes in their mind-altering substance, The Seep. On The Seep, we realize we are all one, and we could be anything. The environment is fixed and capitalism is over. People decide to sprout wings, grow antlers, stop aging. Become babies again. What does it mean to grieve and feel broken in a world where all of your basic needs are met, where everyone wants to help you? My favorite line in the whole thing: "Everything is unfolding as it should, and that doesn't mean I can't be mad about it." Said as a chorus. In a church service. Listen, I am going to be thinking about this for a while. But I loved this! I am going to have to get a copy of my own to keep when I return this to the library!
"Readers will delight in the eerie disquietude and optimism of this well-calibrated what-if." PrijzenErelijsten
"Trina Goldberg-Oneka is a fifty-year-old trans woman whose life is irreversibly altered in the wake of a gentle-but nonetheless world-changing-invasion by an alien entity called The Seep. Through The Seep, everything is connected. Capitalism falls, hierarchies and barriers are broken down; if something can be imagined, it is possible. Trina and her wife, Deeba, live blissfully under The Seep's utopian influence-until Deeba begins to imagine what it might be like to be reborn as a baby, which will give her the chance at an even better life. Using Seeptech to make this dream a reality, Deeba moves on to a new existence, leaving Trina devastated. Heartbroken and deep into an alcoholic binge, Trina follows a lost boy she encounters, embarking on an unexpected quest. In her attempt to save him from The Seep, she will confront not only one of its most avid devotees, but the terrifying void that Deeba has left behind. A strange new elegy of love and loss, The Seep explores grief, alienation, and the ache of moving on"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
