"The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is an armed hunter stalking through the trees like a ghost, gently pushing aside branches that block the path and trying to tread without sound.” ― Cixin Liu, The Dark Forest

In The Land of Nod depicts a strange and disquieting world of dream, nightmare, and darkness full of impossible creatures who haunt the edges of our imaginations in realms of biopunk mutants and metamorphoses. It is a darker world where biotechnology meets a gothic surrealism empowered by our own flirtations with transhumanism flowering into an endless mutability of humanity and technosentience.
