In Ascension was one of my highlights of the year but this didn't quite connect for me, lots of interesting ideas but not enough resolution.

    "A close-up image of a book titled "Gathering Evidence" by Martin MacInnes resting on a wooden surface. The cover features a green-tinted forest scene with a few figures visible in the background, suggesting a natural, isolated environment. The book is placed next to a white mug of tea or coffee, with an illustration of a figure and the text "get drunk and crack at the dancing lift" printed on the mug. The scene is cozy, suggesting a reading break."

    "The back cover of the book "Gathering Evidence" provides a synopsis. The text describes a plot where researchers visit a national park to observe a troop of bonobo chimpanzees with extinction imminent. There are strange occurrences, unexplained deaths, and suspicions of being hunted. One character, John, faces attacks, memory loss, and a growing black fungus, adding to the foreboding atmosphere. The synopsis emphasizes the dark, mysterious tone of the novel, described by The Herald as "A ghost story, a novel of ideas whose allusiveness and foreboding gives it an unsettling power." Above the synopsis are additional praise quotes from The List and The Times highlighting the novel's exploration of environmental and technological themes."
