Annihilation is a 2014 novel by Jeff Vandermeer. It is the first entry in VanderMeer's Southern Reach Series and follows a team of four women (a biologist, an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a surveyor) who set out into an area known as Area X, which is abandoned and cut off from the rest of civilization; they believe they are the 12th expedition, with all previous expeditions falling apart due to disappearances, suicides, aggressive cancers, and mental trauma.[1]
Annihilation won the 2014 Nebula Award for Best Novel[2] and the 2014 Shirley Jackson Award for best novel.[3] A film loosely based on the novel was released by Paramount Pictures in 2018.[4]
