"In the second volume of the Southern Reach Trilogy, questions are answered, stakes are raised, and mysteries are deepened. In Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer introduced Area X--a remote and lush terrain mysteriously sequestered from civilization. This was the first volume of a projected trilogy; well in advance of publication, translation rights had already sold around the world and a major movie deal had been struck. Just months later, Authority, the second volume, is here. For thirty years, the only human engagement with Area X has taken the form of a series of expeditions monitored by a secret agency called the Southern Reach. After the disastrous twelfth expedition chronicled in Annihilation, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez, aka "Control," is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves--and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he's promised to serve. And the consequences will spread much further than that. The Southern Reach trilogy will conclude in fall 2014 with Acceptance"--

Tuirgin: Despite the concept of Area X being strikingly similar to the Strugatsky's Roadside Picnic, there are also echos of Stanisław Lem's Solaris—the idea of a type of communication so alien to human modes of communication that it can be harmful to us.
Secondo cap. de "l'area X" questo racconto è decisamente inferiore al primo (annientamento) : In pratica l'intera storia è la descrizione di questo tizio, una sorta di ispettore, che viene mandato alla base militare che gestisce l'area x, dei suoi tentativi di capire, di gestire gli altri ufficiali della base, di districarsi fra le strane manovre politico/strategiche delle alte sfere, in un contesto dominato dalle stranezze, dai mezzi messaggi, da percezioni anomale, da atmosfere oniriche. La lettura dipende solo dalla bravura di scrittore di Vandermeer nel rappresentare quanto sopra nel "giusto modo" perché per il resto, ripeto, il libro ha ben poco di interessante. ( )
