"Science fiction meets natural history in Birds of Maine – a slice-of-life-ish study of a futuristic lunar bird civilization. Michael DeForge’s bold, playful colors and trippy-but-scientific illustrations transport you to a weird and wonderful world where the internet is cool and economics isn’t real. Don’t be distracted by the fungal laneways, library orgies, or universal worm diet – these birds are preoccupied by the same dramas as you and me – completing manuscripts, falling in love, bands breaking up. This book invokes a healthy balance of hope and angst for the future."
