For those of you who have watched and enjoyed

the movie Look Up, I highly recommend The Last Policeman trilogy by Ben H. Winters. It's likewise about a comet on a death path to Earth, and is incredibly good.

Thought it was a biting, on-point satire of the moment we've been living through when 'don't trust your lying eyes or ears' becomes a movement, a death wish in a world drowning in the specious and superficial.

Thanks for the Winters' trilogy suggestion. I'll check it out.
