Surrealist science fiction at its best. A selection of short stories told from the perspective of a being simultaneously almost god-like and hopelessly confused as the universe evolves around him (it?).

It’s a hard work to classify. My closest analogy would be with The Cyberiad, but with less narrative consistency and a far broader scope. Still, it’s extremely enjoyable, in a mind-bending way.

4/5. Finished Sunday 8 June, 2025.
