Arrival Screenwriter’s Debut Sci-Fi Novel Sounds Pretty Cool

The 2016 film *Arrival* was a critical success, receiving widespread praise and multiple Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. Now, Eric Heisserer, the screenwriter behind *Arrival*, is releasing his first novel, *Simultaneous*, on October 28th. Early reviews suggest it’s just as captivating as his film work, and it’s already generating a lot of buzz. You can pre-order it on Amazon now – it promises to be a thrilling read for those cozy fall evenings.

While you wait for the release of the novel *Simultaneous* on October 28th, you can enjoy the 4K Blu-ray of *Arrival* for only $16.21 on Amazon. This set includes both the 4K and standard Blu-ray versions of the film, plus special features that explore how the movie was made and the science and anthropology that inspired its story.

If you enjoy thought-provoking books, consider “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami or “Bright Eternity” by Daniel Zeigler. “1Q84” centers on Aomame, who realizes her world is changing and suspects she’s slipped into an alternate reality. You can find the paperback for $14.87-it’s currently on sale from $22. Or, check out the beautiful new hardcover edition from The Folio Society, featuring a striking purple cover and dreamlike illustrations.

I just finished reading “Bright Eternity,” and it’s seriously thought-provoking! It’s the second book in “The Brightness Trilogy,” and the whole premise is about what happens when people try to avoid death. This company, NewEden Life Sciences, has figured out a way to extend your life by decades, but things aren’t what they seem. The story follows a journalist digging into what’s really going on with the program, and how it’s affecting the people who signed up – and their families are starting to notice some really strange changes.
