内容简介
······
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; the second expedition ended in mass suicide, the third expedition in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another. The members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within weeks, all had died of cancer. In Annihilation, the first volume of Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, we join the twelfth expedition.
The group is made up of four women: an anthropologist; a surveyor; a psychologist, the de facto leader; and our narrator, a biologist. Their mission is to map the terrain, record all observations of their surroundings and of one anotioner, and, above all, avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers—they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding—but it’s the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

评论 ······
看完电影找来原作看的。作为一本探险队生物学家(相当于电影女主)的自述，整体调性隐忍而悲凉；情节上几乎一直在挖坑而没有给出任何确定的答案。作为三部曲开篇是很棒的开局，同时原著强调主观知觉感受的风格也确实凸显出改编电影的独特之处。
和电影几乎是两码事…看完让人很质疑作者讲故事的能力，不过对生态学有了一点兴趣。
读得很慢，100多页花了3天才读完，因为挣扎着想把每句话每个词都看得一清二楚，而且一些细节词汇好晦涩（我语言能力还急需提高）。非常creepy极其weird，和电影一般像是一个bad acid trip，吃了坏掉的蘑菇，做了恶心而不明所以的梦魇，却与电影几乎是全然不同的故事了。全书都是大坑，到底Event是什么，superiors到底知道一些什么，谁把大家的日记放到灯塔里的，塔是谁建的。真的都是外…
气氛塑造的可以 但是搞气氛太久了 阅读疲倦…… 😩 没缘分的书
