I finished China Mieville's The Scar, the sequel to Perdido Street Station, my latest obsession of New Weird genre defying fiction. It wasn't as good as the first, but still spins an impressive tale about a floating fantasy pirate city and its anarchist politics.I also watched Looop Lapeta, an Indian movie on Netflix that is a remake of Run Lola Run, which remains one of the most fun explorations of time loops and branching narratives I've ever seen in fiction.This take gives the story a 2021 boost with graphics, colors, and some of the craziest needless camera cuts I've ever seen. Entertaining!
