DNF. This is a super academic book about deep sea creatures in popular culture, and I don't have the attention span to read it unfortunately. I was tricked by the wonderful cover into expecting a less dense book.

Fine, but not for me. If I had to summarize: a book about media about the deep sea. It's very dense, and often felt like I was reading a book report.

**I received my copy from Netgalley.

This ended up being a book I was in a very specific headspace for, but if you are not interested in looking at the HOW of how information about the deep sea is discussed and disseminated in both popular and scientific culture, this will not be a book for you. This kind of stuff fascinates me deeply, especially because it focuses on the depictions of the deep sea. (Dialectics of art!!) It is a dense read, but a great one, and definitely worth your time when it comes out in May.
