Hi! I'm Jonah. I was born and raised in Vermont, the home of real maple syrup and rugged skiing. Technology brought the world into my childhood bedroom, and I'm excited to keep bringing the world to more people.

Area X Trilogy, Jeff Vandermeer

I recently re-watched Arrival by Denis Villeneuve, and I think it's about time I gave cracking its alien language, Heptapod B, another shot.
