If J. J. Abrams, Margaret Atwood, and Alan Weisman collaborated on a novel it might be this awesome.
Area X has been cut off from the rest of the continent for decades. Nature has reclaimed the last vestiges of human civilization. The first expedition returned with reports of a pristine, Edenic landscape; all the members of the second expedition committed suicide; the third expedition died in a hail of gunfire as its members turned on one another; the members of the eleventh expedition returned as shadows of their former selves, and within months of their return, all had died of aggressive cancer.
This is the twelfth expedition.
Their group is made up of four women: an anthropologist, a surveyor, a psychologist the de facto leader and a biologist, who is our narrator. Their mission is to map the terrain and collect specimens; to record all their observations, scientific and otherwise, of their surroundings and of one another; and, above all, to avoid being contaminated by Area X itself.
They arrive expecting the unexpected, and Area X delivers they discover a massive topographic anomaly and life forms that surpass understanding but it s the surprises that came across the border with them and the secrets the expedition members are keeping from one another that change everything.

NYT bestselling writer Jeff VanderMeer has been called “the weird Thoreau” by the New Yorker for his engagement with ecological issues. His most recent novel, the national bestseller Borne, received wide-spread critical acclaim and his prior novels include the Southern Reach trilogy (Annihilation, Authority, and Acceptance). Annihilation won the Nebula and Shirley Jackson Awards, has been translated into 35 languages, and was made into a film from Paramount Pictures directed by Alex Garland. His nonfiction has appeared in New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Atlantic, Slate, Salon, and the Washington Post. He has coedited several iconic anthologies with his wife, the Hugo Award winning editor. Other titles include Wonderbook, the world’s first fully illustrated creative writing guide. VanderMeer served as the 2016-2017 Trias Writer in Residence at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. He has spoken at the Guggenheim, the Library of Congress, and the Arthur C. Clarke Center for the Human Imagination.
VanderMeer was born in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, but spent much of his childhood in the Fiji Islands, where his parents worked for the Peace Corps. This experience, and the resulting trip back to the United States through Asia, Africa, and Europe, deeply influenced him.
Jeff is married to Ann VanderMeer, who is currently an acquiring editor at Tor.com and has won the Hugo Award and World Fantasy Award for her editing of magazines and anthologies. They live in Tallahassee, Florida, with two cats and thousands of books.

有个网喷按头推荐这书给我，回复不合TA心意就人参公鸡说我不配看，好，我不但要看还要评，根据丰富的阅历我坚信物以类聚的真理，不信这种生物喜欢的作品能是什么好玩意儿。看完缺点我就批评到体无完肤，网喷管不着。内鱼是现在不振，米国是从来没文化，瘦死的骆驼都比马大，我们好歹还有古代文学，把“米国文学”当文学还敢看不起人，谜之自信。且科幻，多半是理科好文科很差的作者，郭内理科喷子觉得文科很差的米国作者写得好，... 有个网喷按头推荐这书给我，回复不合TA心意就人参公鸡说我不配看，好，我不但要看还要评，根据丰富的阅历我坚信物以类聚的真理，不信这种生物喜欢的作品能是什么好玩意儿。看完缺点我就批评到体无完肤，网喷管不着。内鱼是现在不振，米国是从来没文化，瘦死的骆驼都比马大，我们好歹还有古代文学，把“米国文学”当文学还敢看不起人，谜之自信。且科幻，多半是理科好文科很差的作者，郭内理科喷子觉得文科很差的米国作者写得好，讽刺要素过于齐全。没看之前我凭经验都知道大概几斤几两。喷子还说这书很难懂，以自己的脑容量妄断别人，米国人的文化水平能写出对我来说难懂的东西？呵呵。难懂有两种，一种是写得好但太深难懂，一种是写得烂没逻辑。 (展开)
