520    "B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, neurotic and underappreciated 
       film critic (failed academic, filmmaker, paramour, shoe 
       salesman who sleeps in a sock drawer), stumbles upon a 
       hitherto unseen film by an enigmatic outsider--a film he's
       convinced will change his career trajectory and rock the 
       world of cinema to its core. His hands on what is possibly
       the greatest movie ever made, a three-month-long stop-
       motion masterpiece that took its reclusive auteur ninety 
       years to complete, B. knows that it is his mission to show
       it to the rest of humanity. The only problem: The film is 
       destroyed, leaving him the sole witness to its 
       inadvertently ephemeral genius. All that's left of this 
       work of art is a single frame from which B. must somehow 
       attempt to recall the film that just might be the last 
       great hope of civilization. Thus begins a mind-boggling 
       journey through the hilarious nightmarescape of a psyche 
       as lushly Kafkaesque as it is atrophied by the relentless 
       spew of Twitter. Desperate to impose order on an 
       increasingly nonsensical existence, trapped in a self-
       imposed prison of aspirational victimhood and 
       degeneratively inclusive language, B. scrambles to re-
       create the lost masterwork while attempting to keep pace 
       with an ever-fracturing culture of "likes" and arbitrary 
       denunciations that are simultaneously his b©®te noire and 
       his raison d'©®tre. A searing indictment of the modern 
       world, Antkind is a richly layered meditation on art, time,
       memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence
       itself--the grain of truth at the heart of every joke"--
