Unsure of her reasons, she brings it home and names it “Borne.”īorne quickly shows itself to be much more than a mere sea anemone. It resembles a sea anemone from the island nation where she grew up, a nation lost to the rising oceans. One day she finds a small lump of…something. Among the dangers she faces are the minions of an invisible magician and the predations of a giant flying bear. Along with her partner, Wick, Rachel looks for food and for usable biotech that they can repurpose or use to survive another day. Rachel is a scavenger, surviving on the detritus of a city destroyed by climate change and by uncontrolled and uncontrollable biotech. With Borne, the brilliance continues to amaze, as does the weirdness. Jeff Vandermeer may be a perfectly delightful and ordinary person, but his writing is as strange as it gets! The Southern Reach trilogy was a fantasy/sci fi amalgam that zigged and zagged in so many directions that it took my breath away.
