「是的，你是人。」Rachel回答Borne。
「就像其他人一樣，你也可以是武器。」
初見之時，Rachel還不知道Borne到底是「什麼」。
在這座曾經繁榮，如今破敗、毀壞的城市中，Rachel憑藉敏銳的直覺和技巧，以拾荒為生。巨熊Mord的毛皮是所有拾荒者的夢幻之地──他曾經是個男人，因為當時掌控城市的「公司」的生物實驗，他突變成一隻巨大的、能飛行的熊，被「公司」折磨得幾近瘋狂，最後終於逃離囚籠。現在，牠是這座城市的實質統治者，牠掠奪、摧毀、將動物拆吃入腹，每當牠回到巢穴休息，毛皮上總是沾附、攜帶了各種東西，那裡是拾荒者的天堂。
Rachel便是在那裡發現了那個無以名狀的生物，纏繞在Mord的毛髮中。他剛開始看起來像海葵和烏賊的混和體，聞起來有海洋的味道，令她想起自己的家鄉，一座被海水淹沒的島嶼。Rachel為他取名叫Borne。神秘的被攜帶之物。
她不顧伴侶Wick的反對，將Borne帶回他們的住處，Borne以倍速成長，並逐漸嶄露驚人的智慧，飢渴地吸收一切知識。他的存在看似偶然，卻促使痛苦的真相一一浮上表面──關於「公司」、關於這座城市的命運、Wick和「公司」的神祕關聯，甚至是Rachel自己的過去。
Jeff VanderMeer的科幻小說獨樹一格且文學性十足，延續在《遺落南境》三部曲中展現的文字魔力，他的最新一部作品打造了一個詭譎而令人驚嘆的未來世界，他所創造的非人角色並不試圖貼近人類的性格或形體，而是挑戰了想像力的極限，帶來瘋狂、大膽、令人炫目的閱讀體驗。(文/博客來編譯)
任何看似無心的存在都可能是陷阱
A novel that is simultaneously harrowing, dark, dangerous, funny an uplifting from the author of the Southern Reach trilogy.
“Am I a person?” Borne asks Rachel, in extremis.
“Yes, you are a person,” Rachel tells him. “But like a person, you can be a weapon, too.”
A ruined city of the future lives in fear of a despotic, gigantic flying bear, driven mad by the tortures inflicted on him by the Company, a mysterious biotech firm. A scavenger, Rachel, finds a creature entangled in his fur. She names it Borne.
At first, Borne looks like nothing at all― a green lump that might be a discard from the Company. But he reminds Rachel of her homeland, an island nation long lost to rising seas, and she prevents her lover, Wick, from rendering down Borne as raw genetic material for the special kind of drugs he sells.
But nothing is quite the way it seems: not the past, not the present, not the future. If Wick is hiding secrets, so is Rachel―and Borne most of all. What Rachel finds hidden deep within the Company will change everything and everyone. There, lost and forgotten things have lingered and grown. What they have grown into is mighty indeed.
Library Journal, Kirkus and Amazon all included the Southern Reach Trilogy in their Books of the Year round ups. Book one in the trilogy, Annihilation, was also a finalist for the Goodreads Choice Awards.
Annihilation is being made into a film by Alex Garland, starring Natalie Portman.
