Author Max Gladstone's "Craft Sequence" novels draw parallels between finance and fantasy, using the latter to explore the abstract nature of financialization. His work translates concepts like corporate bankruptcy and the idea of 'too big to fail' into fantastical narratives, such as a murdered god being reassembled. Gladstone's approach is influenced by philosopher Timothy Morton's concept of 'hyperobjects,' which describes phenomena too vast for human comprehension, like climate change or global finance, and the emotional responses they evoke.
