Books

Toward Eternity
Anton Hur

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Although this book is certainly speculative sci-fi, it feels disingenuous to call it that. There are the classic science fiction elements: nano technology, future civilization, clone armies, evil artificial intelligence, and alien planets, but the book at it’s core is about poetry, art, lanugage, and human experience. And Anton Hur only needed 247 pages to do all of that. It’s an excellent, emotionally stirring ode to life.

MOVIES & TV

Hundreds of Beavers
Mike Cheslik

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

It’s honestly shocking that this movie can exist in this decade. This wild, rowdy trip will have you questioning your decisions in life in one moment, and then laughing until your abs hurt in the next. I would highly recommend Hundreds of Beavers, if for no other reason, then at least to say that you have experienced it.

Goodbye, Tangerine
Silence Williams

Rating: 5 out of 5.

A wonderful debut EP from a good friend of mine! Check it out on his bandcamp and get lost in some lovely, meditative instrumental pieces.
