Keanu on death and mortality

The actor, apart from his work in the film industry, has been working on his first novel with China Miéville, a British fiction writer and literary critic, titled The Book of Elsewhere. The novel is categorised under speculative fiction and the story takes place in an alternate universe, following the life of an immortal warrior, exploring the themes of life and death in great detail.

‘I think about death all the time’

In addition to Keanu’s comments, China connected the discussion to their novel to bind the fictional and nonfictional worlds together by adding “You can have a book that has these kind of you know, fun explosive sequences. But you can also quite seriously sort of talk about death and what that means to be human.”
