    Under the watchful eye of The Company, three characters -- Grayson, Morse and Chen -- shapeshifters, amorphous, part human, part extensions of the landscape, make their way through forces that would consume them. A blue fox, a giant fish and language stretched to the limit. A messianic blue fox who slips through warrens of time and space on a mysterious mission. A homeless woman haunted by a demon who finds the key to all things in a strange journal. A giant leviathan of a fish, centuries old, who hides a secret, remembering a past that may not be its own. Three ragtag rebels waging an endless war for the fate of the world against an all-powerful corporation. A raving madman who wanders the desert lost in the past, haunted by his own creation: an invisible monster whose name he has forgotten and whose purpose remains hidden. Jeff VanderMeer's Dead Astronauts presents a City with no name of its own where, in the shadow of the all-powerful Company, lives human and otherwise converge in terrifying and miraculous ways. At stake: the fate of the future, the fate of Earth - all the Earths.

    The Strange Bird, by Jeff VanderMeer, expands the world of his acclaimed novel, Borne. This unique creature, part bird and part human, escapes from a besieged laboratory where scientists have turned against their creations. As she navigates tunnels and evades capture, she discovers that the sky is not a sanctuary; it is filled with wildlife that rejects her and remnants of human civilization, including satellites and drones. Her journey leads her to the remnants of the Company, a collapsed biotech firm that has left behind both successful and failed experiments, such as networked foxes and a giant bear. Among the various creatures she encounters, it is the humans—desperate and exploitative—who pose the greatest threat, seeing her merely as a possession to be captured or traded. VanderMeer not only enriches the narrative of Borne but also offers a fresh perspective through the eyes of this new creature, who fights for her place in a fractured world. This story challenges our understanding of nonhuman existence and highlights the complexities of survival in a landscape shaped by human actions. VanderMeer’s work signals a maturation of eco-fiction, presenting a vision of the future that is both wild and unpredictable.
