A book about typefaces that importently isn't about designing a typeface. Instead it explores type through its history from a sadly bird's-eye exemplary view. A bit unexpectelly it degrades into a stan account for Jonathan Barnbrook in the later half. In that way it has something of a haphazard thrown together museum curation.
If that's not what you have been looking for I would rather give it a miss. Even if the named example spreads can be quite a pleasure to look at.

"Hell Is the Absence of God" is a 2001 fantasy novelette by American writer Ted …
The book is a (german) collection of five short stories from Ted Chiang. The most famous of them is presumably "Story of Your Life" which was later adapted into the movie "Arrival".
Even though I read it more then seven years ago by now, I can still remember the majority of the stories vividely and how I read them: In one sitting.
All of the stories are mind bending, open-ended, philosophically sad and rather deep in their own way. I loved how the worlds described differ from our own reality even in the way physics work. Sometimes the stories use some meta-physical concept, that we used to explain the world, to be an axiom of their reality and runs with it. Trying to understand the consequences and emotions people must feel in these situations which more often than not clash with the way we would feel - because …

In it's own weird way it showed my young self a perspective on the world she never experienced before. And just for that alone I classify it as a must read to all who love their minds unscrewed - even if just for a short while.
I watched the Haibane Renmei anime and really loved it. It seems to have drawn it's inspiration from this book, so I am curious what it entails. The short recommendations I read made it sound like one of Ted Chiangs short stories from collection "Die Hölle ist die Abwesenheit Gottes" (en. closest is Stories of Your Life and Others) which I absolutely loved years and years ago when I first met them

Very very cute visual short stories of a hetero couple that have very big bisexual energy, where both parties come with their diagnosis with the neat little feature of living forever.
