The Invisibles - Volume 3 - by Grant Morrison

Rating: 5/5

Writing Style: Great.

Summary: A cool group of misfit anarchists continue on through their super ‘matrix’ world.

Comments: Still over the top like the first two volumes, but less time travel mix-ups, great conclusion, no loose ends, … an awesome finish to the series. Even though it did mess with my head, this series fits in well with all the other books reviewed on my site here. I plan to re-read it, but I need to wait a few months for sure.

I am no Mayan time acceleration expert, but I thought the idea wasn’t quite a single layer of time that is accellerating fast and faster, but 9(?) equal length-layers of time with each layer being 20 times smaller/shorter/faster. From our perspective each one starts at a different later time, but they all complete together at the end of the Mayan calendar. Things feel faster to us now because the smaller shorter faster layers of time have started up…  only a couple more to go. An event cycle that takes 1 year now, took 20 years in the previous time speed layer, and 400 years in the previous previous time speed layer. The English language is tough for time speed discussions. An Invisbles theme -> subtle limits on thought range and creativity due to language constraints.
