#readalong #readalongs #annihilation #reading #booktube #bookreview #bookreviews #sciencefictionAlex Garlands Civil War: A Mirror, Not a Lens (and how critics got it wrong)Jason Fuhrman2024-06-14 | Here is my response to many critics and viewers who panned Alex Garland's Civil War as "empty" or "saying nothing." It's shocking to me how ignorant and surface-level these critics were considering their vocation.
I hope this video illuminates the genius of Alex Garland, and how sometimes what we EXPECT does not match the writer's INTENT. It's also a study in alternative, or lack of, characterization, and how that approach is just as valid as the traditional approach we all come to EXPECT.
A video essay of sorts, an analysis of story construction and intent, and a bit of a cold, hard look at ourselves.

Get ready for a story that will drain you like you ran a marathon of exactly 100 miles after a night of binge-drinking moonshine and sleeping on a bed of rusty nails.
Horror this is not. Noir this is not. Good fiction this is not.
