Annihilation (2018)'s activity

We are always changing. Every tiny piece of us lives and dies and lives again, endlessly replicating and replacing itself, never perfectly, always slightly different. When we die, our parts become different things, atoms and energy absorbed and dispersed into the world around us. We think that we are a single thing, a cohesive whole, but each of us is a biological Ship of Theseus on a journey to annihilation. And those that remain grieve the ones who are gone, and grieve the versions of ourselves that only exist in memory.
