2021.Book42 - Dead Astronauts (Vandermeer)

 Phenomenology of genetic engineering? Inside the apocalypse?

2021.Book41 - Kingdom and Empire (Tempelmeyer)

 Pretty good.

2021.Book40 - Nobody Will Tell You This But Me (Kalb)

 A nice life.

2021.Book39 - Piranesi (Clarke)

 Not what I expected, but very good.  Seems pretty straightforward, are there hidden depths?
