"Gabriel García Márquez once optimistically wrote that ‘Life is the best thing ever invented.’ The Pearly Gates Archive, circling this claim like water around an open drain, is a counterfactual examination of this idea. Instead of facts, its analysis offers up evidence of absurdities having been committed, one after another, serial observations of glitches in the matrix, so brief that we can’t quite put our finger on exactly what they mean—or if they’re actually real."
