Nice review! So you, too, have been struck by a jellyfish in the end? I couldn't sit for weeks.
Ian, but seriously, I think the point is that there is nothing in the media reliable anymore. There probably wasn't even a jellyfish there at all.

Looks like I liked this one a bit more than you, Greg, but thanks for the kind words!
For me, it was less about the unreliability of everything, moreso about the challenging difficulty and inscrutability of truth as knowledge. Even when dealing with first-hand sources, we're still lost in the black ocean, reacting to the stings that touch us.
Ian, well, I was left confused, but at least now I can related the sting to the cover. Having been stung, my arm would be raised in the air for help also.
