Just watched the new #superman and well hell it's very good. Especially Nicholas Hoult as a very Lexy Lex.

This book is a beautiful train wreck of post failed state trauma and giant robots punching each other.

It's been out almost a week now & I am so excited for more folks to be finding THE ARCHIVE UNDYING by Emma Mieko Candon. Cerebral & heady with devotion, this is THE giant robot book of 2023. A must read this summer for fans of chewy narration, body horror, & high saturation sci-fi. Plus a cocktail!
