took a break from reading Sacred and Terrible Air to quickly read On the Beach by Nevil Shute cause I've heard a gossip that Death Stranding might be inspired by it.
Well, I don't know. They both take place at the end of a worldwide extinction and both include a lot of repetition, that's about as far as similarities go. Not even sure if I should include those repetitions because they hit different. In Death Stranding they are infamously annoying and a common theory is that all the characters are so isolated they'll blather on if given chance, even if it's repeating something they've already said. Not sure if this was Kojima's intent. On the Beach uses repetitions in a sort of poetic way almost. To me they strengthen the everpresent denial.
Reading it in-between Sacred and Terrible Air felt like jumping from a frying pan into open fire. On the Beach is so fucking bleak. The only way I could see DS being inspired by it is… like,, if Kojima read it and thought "Damn this is horrible, I need to write something like this, but hopeful immediately or I'll go insane". The two stories are an inverse of each other in some way, maybe.
Anyway, it's a good book but I wouldn't read it again. 1957 sure was a year, I guess. I feel like reading a mid tier crime story with a jaded alcoholic detective rn

so much weird stuff happens in OFF it's easy to forget that the most murderous man in the area jumped down a crematorium / sugar factory chimney like a santa claus from hell
