Book excerpt: A young man uses hallucinogenic drugs to escape what he believes is a simulated reality. Two wildlife biologists discover video evidence of Bigfoot on a trail cam. A tree posits the origin of the Universe and the meaning of life. From cyber dramas about population decline and AI art to a planetary invasion by giant monsters shaped like an ancient religious symbol, There's Something Weird Going On offers ten tales of empathy for thinking beings in a rapidly changing world. Emanating from the heartfelt fiction of Ted Chiang and Greg Egan, and fueled by the existential angst of the modern era, this collection weaves morality and metaphysics, consciousness and conservation, and love and loss into visions of haunting optimism, offering an ember of solace to all souls who call this strange reality home.
