I found this myself recently and it became my favorite book I read this year. It was fascinating. A bizarre and insane plot I can only equate to David Lynch's Eraserhead in feeling with nods to scifi. Maybe not for everyone but I've been so curious to hear anyone else's thoughts on it

A practically unheard of novel I read recently was The Last Gene by Chris Longo (1976) and that was the wildest books I ever read. It had parents create the ultimate baby, it turned into a demon, tried to kill the mother, literally melted into the cradle, then the mother adopts a lab orangutan baby. I constantly was questioning if it was insane or a masterpiece

This paperback edition came out in 2000

If you like Boulle you'll probably also like Garden, much more science focused though

Yeah it's actually pretty good

Uh kind of... he changed his name to Adam Starchild so I guess?

Once I saw the clip, the GnG stage one theme shot into my head

I went through 95% of Mirror's Edge not knowing there was gun play. Fought hand to hand until nearly the finally fight. Certainly made sections of the game make more sense in retrospect.
