i'm reminded of the film Annihilation, especially the entity encountered at the end.

Very well written. Poetic.

I love the way that nothing is explained.

Needs a twist or a reason to care about the characters.

They're the last living humans, and the last human-derived mind?

I like Cordwainer Smith and Peter Watts; so I really liked this blend of their styles and subjects.

I adore Peter Watts, so I'll be checking out Smith then!

Watts is like brain candy, keeps my mind buzzing from all the ideas for weeks. Charles Stross can have the same effect, a sort of future shock.

Cordwainer Smith's style and subject matter is quite different from Watts; I felt this story was like a combination of the two. So, if you would like this story even if it was less eschatalogically cynical, and had more of a golden age setting, you'll probably like Smith!
