Can one film save humanity from the pitfalls of modernity? Academy Award-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), explores this question in his stunning debut novel. Antkind is the story of B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, an underappreciated film critic and the only person to have seen what he deems to be a destroyed cinematic masterwork. Believing the film is capable of saving civilization and his career, Rosenberg sets out on an artistic quest to reproduce its genius. Like his fictitious antihero, Kaufman explores the power of imagery, cinema, and visual narrative in transforming the future.
