Enjoy weird fiction overall, sci-fi and "horror" (in a very general sense). I like some Lovecraft, VanderMeers, Ballard, China Miéville, Samanta Schweblin, late William Gibson, Mariana Enríquez... what recent books or writers caught your eye that may loosely fit the term or are similar to works of the above authors? Can be in English, Portuguese or Spanish.

Ever read Blindsight by Peter Watts?

[-] atomo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

keep getting references to Watts's book, but no

It's a good read. It taught me about the actual real concept of blindsight., seeing without perceiving.
