Alien Clay

arton daghev im sorry for thinking you were named anton for most of the book.

both more philosophical and more tangible (to me) than the spider book (n??e children of time). the narration felt so vibrant and urgent and alive. though honestly, the whole thing felt urgent and a lot more present than we maybe would like to believe. i think part of the cleverness actually lies in the way tchaikovsky never goes into detail about the mandate, and instead elects to tell us about the effects it has on the people opposing it. and how opposing it affects them. clever and apt and really empathetic.
