When I heard that the sequels to Annihilation pretty much explain all the mysterious, unexplainable stuff, I was prepared to be disappointed, but Authority keeps the J.G. Ballard vibes going, but leaning more toward Super-Cannes than Drowned World. Also has kind of a neo-noir mystery feel & references John Le Carre’s Karla trilogy. I can imagine Authority being a good choice for KVMR Nevada City’s “Word in Edgewise” science fiction reading show.
