WhereAreWeSeeing
Maybe the best book I have ever read, it checks every box of what I love and does them all perfectly. It's almost like a series of essays on the nature of man, but in the form of riveting dialogue & monologues. Every elements is utilized masterfully. Truly great writing can establish a universe without lore, and deep characters, without spilling out everything. There is a constant sense of subjectivity in the writing, where a careful reader can insinuate the true nature of what is being perceived has more nuance to it than the individual can grasp. We encode our engagement with the world through a human lens, and this is at the forefront of the writing here. There is also amazing satire of academia as well, that does say profound things about it that hit really hard for me too.
