It has the Company, mostly ruined, still leaking biotech into the streets, and it has Mord, a bear the size of a building who sleeps in the sky and wakes to destroy things. Rachel scavenges from his fur. It's one of the few reliable jobs left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat she brings home that day looks like a sea anemone and tastes the air. She names him Borne. He learns to talk. He grows. He starts asking whether he is a person or a weapon, and Rachel discovers she does not have a good answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVanderMeer writes ecological collapse with more tenderness than most authors bring to a love story.
