ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Jeff VanderMeer's "Authority," the second book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, follows Control as he takes over the leadership of the Southern Reach agency, which is dedicated to understanding and containing the mysterious Area X. The story focuses on Control's attempts to navigate the complex dynamics of the agency, while dealing with unreliable data and the strange behaviors of its staff. He struggles to decipher the truth behind the expeditions into Area X, particularly the events surrounding the missing director and the twelfth expedition's returnees. The book explores themes of identity, manipulation, and the limits of human perception in the face of the unknown, with elements of science fiction, mystery, and psychological thriller. As Control investigates, he finds himself questioning his own reality, the nature of Area X, and the very purpose of the agency.
