I regularly post diatribes on this hellsite without the knowledge or blessing of the authors, so imagine my evil glee when Sam gave the all clear. Anyways, let's get this over with.
Luckily for Sam and unluckily for me, there was a lot in this that I thought was really well done. There was also some stuff that wasn't; I think this book can best be described as having some very high highs and, while the lows weren't that low, they were oftentimes fairly systemic.
Good stuff first: if you were to paper a wall with all of the pages of this book, throw a dart at a random paragraph, and read just that paragraph, this book would seem fantastic. There are so many passages that balance humor and sharp insight perfectly. There are also a lot of passages that are genuinely moving. On a narrative level, I thoroughly enjoyed both The Prophet and Being a Nothingness, with Beat being a strong third place--I'd go back and read the first two as standalones any day. Being a Nothingness in particular, which is about "a young man convinced that his bouts of unspeakable dread are a result of how deep he is, only to discover that he's just mentally ill," is a darkly hilarious and relatable premise, and his arc of emotional torment to horrified realization to dogged determination to improve is well written and pulls on the heartstrings. And in 30 pages, no less!
On that note: when this book is personal, you can tell, and the emotion in these parts is where the book is at its best: the anxiety attack and catharsis in Being a Nothingness, the despair and quiet resolve in Beat...chef's kiss. It's a bit of an aside, but I also thought the action scenes in Bloodstreams was well paced, descriptive, and engaging. Not easy to get right.
But this book falls apart a little bit on the broader scale, the two biggest issues being a lack of throughline and inconsistent tone.
On throughline: In the introductory story--the setting the scene, if you will--Earth is sort of taken over by aliens. Not malicious ones, but it's clear that they will have lasting effects on society, politics, climate, culture, etc. And then...they kind of don't. The Xenos are background characters in two of the seven stories (not counting the introduction), but beside some predictable comments on religion, they don't seem to have changed the world in any tangible way. There are hints in two stories about an upcoming presidential election with the runaway frontrunner being violently anti-Xeno, but that's as far as that (potentially very interesting) storyline goes. Other than some slightly more modern technology, most of these stories could have taken place today. There's nothing wrong with the world of 2080 looking similar to ours, except that multiple things in-universe--Xenos, the general knowledge that aliens are real and living on our planet, robots advanced enough that they're indistinguishable from humans--should make for a changed world. Many of the stories on their own are pretty good, but they become slightly inconsistent when you try to place them into the broader setting.
On tone: the tones of the Xenos changed rather rapidly. They'd be inscrutable and inhuman one moment, and then switch to being profane and immature the next. I'm not sure if this was done for humor, or what--crass aliens can be funny, but not when they were being stately benefactors the moment before--but it made their general characterization very uneven. The human characters were much more consistent, but every now and then they would have similar problems.
And while Beat, The Prophet, and Being a Nothingness were quite good, the others were so-so story-wise, with Four Little Words losing me entirely. I was about to be up in arms about how there's no way a bunch of academics would read a single paper and completely change their whole worldview, until Sam said in the story notes that he knew that, but my rage would mostly be in a joking way anyways. On a more serious note, it was way too short for any emotional connection, and the pipeline from "grass can feel pain --> we're committing holocausts so we should nuke the planet --> let's not tell anyone actually --> you published the paper already? I'm gonna shoot 12 times and we're gonna get the government to bury the evidence" is a tough sell for any length of story, let alone one 6 or so pages long.
So while this book isn't perfect, it's definitely promising. There is plenty of smart, funny, and reflective writing in here, and if Sam has the inclination, I think a lot of the inconsistencies this book has could be cleaned up with more practice. If he ever puts out something again, I'll read it.
Also, I saw so many words in this book I've only ever seen in the New York Times crossword (complimentary, not derogatory). Wonder why that is...

“Man is a beast defined by his contradictions. One of many is that, despite being born from chaos, he strives relentlessly towards order. So much of his energy is robbed from him by this endless uphill battle against the forces of decay.”
I’ve been a fan of Sam O’Nella since middle school. I’m now graduating college, and I still find myself going back to old videos as a comfort when life becomes too much. Imagine my surprise when Sam comes out of the woodworks with a face reveal and a book release on a random Friday evening.
Of course, I immediately purchased and devoured said book.
I would like to emphasize that this book is not good in a “good-because-I’m-a-fan” type of way. Each story was so well crafted and communicated that I genuinely felt immersed for hours at a time, hence finishing it in only two nights of reading. I think knowing Sam’s cadence and humor from his videos only enhanced my reading experience, as I felt myself connecting closer with the dry humor throughout.
The world crafted in these eight stories was so intricate and enticing. It’s very impressive for a debut author to be able to communicate a complicated, completely alien future without succumbing to long paragraphs of tedious lore dumping. My favorite story was probably “Eggs for Roman.” It reminded me a lot of “Flowers for Algernon,” in terms of the writing style, which is a very good thing. I also really enjoyed “Beat.” I’m glad that Sam felt comfortable enough to include this story as it genuinely hit deep for me, and I’m sure a lot of other readers as well.
In all, I love this collection in two ways. One, as a genuine fan of Sam and his videos, and, two, as a reader who loves well written, genre-bending weird-lit. As a fan, I’m glad to be able to enjoy another medium of content from one of my evergreen favorite creators. As a reader, this book made me cry, and I think that speaks for itself.
While I found the quote above to be the most profound, my favorite quote from the book was, “who up starin they monkey,” followed closely by the continued allusions to a terrifying incident known only to historians the Roomba Rebellion.

What a debut! I picked up the book and could not put it down. While not perfect, I found it so well crafted and poignant that I downloaded this app just to leave a review. Eggs for Roman and Beat are highlights in what will be a very successful career.
February 27, 2026
As someone who's watched every Sam O'Nella video multiple times over, I was still amazed by how well these short stories were written, that I ended up reading the entire collection in just one day. The last story in the collection, "Beat", was a remarkably well told story about addiction and how no one thinks it could happen to them, and the unwillingness to acknowledge the problem. The end notes revealing it's somewhat based on his struggles only add to that feeling. The other stories were just as good, but "Eggs for Roman" also stuck out as a particularly well written one. The change in vocab as Roman/Habibi gets smarter and smarter helps you to understand what's happening before anything is said. All in all, a remarkable first piece of literature for a new writer.
February 26, 2026
Very enjoyable! Some stories are better than others, but that's always the case for collections.
You get a bit of recognizable Sam O'Nella humor in a few of them, but others read very "straight"
In particular, the final story "Beat" is a painfully realistic view of the descent into and crawl out of addiction. The author's comments at the end of the book reveal where he got that realistic view.
I hope to see more books from Sam soon (In addition to finishing that damn Pliny the Elder series...)

3.5 stars.
A great first publication! I thouroughly enjoyed seeing a different side of the youtuber I've watched for a few years.
My favourites were 'Beat' 'Eggs for Roman' and 'Being a Nothingsness'
The other stories were really solid, but 'Four Little Words' was a bit of a misser for me.
I look forward to reading more of Sam's work in the future!

If you’re familiar with the content and quality of this author’s videos on YouTube, you will not be disappointed with his book. Made me laugh, cry, think a little harder than I usually do. Thanks Sam

I really, genuinely enjoyed my reading experience. Being able to write well-paced sword fight scenes and panic attacks is a skill that not many have mastered, but Miller obviously has.
I admit, I’ve been a fan of Sam O’Nella since around 2018. BUT! I went into this book completely biased and knowing I’d like whatever was written inside.
Even with this bias, I think this book is great. The fact that aliens with seemingly unlimited power and knowledge occupy Earth with only some public uproar and general change in behavior is so human it’s hard to put into words. Of course we got used to aliens fast, we’ve got other shit to worry about.
On a more serious note, Beat was my absolute favorite story out of the eight. It was completely devastating and AGAIN very well written. I’m so glad it made the cut.
Thanks so much, Sam. I’m looking forward to your next creative work, whatever it may be.

First book I’ve truly read in a single sitting: absolutely hilarious if you vibe with Gen Z humor.
The references scattered across each story are varied enough that anyone relatively well read will find themselves chuckling or outright giggling at a line that would be innocuous to the less well acquainted.
He managed to create a wonderfully cohesive, fascinating lore across several narratively unrelated short stories: in my opinion, this is a genuinely masterful feat that I was not expecting from a brand new writer.
As this is a debut novel, it’s not perfect, but it’s uniqueness and whimsy easily make up for its minor flaws
One of my new favorite books of all time.
I cannot wait to see what he writes next.

A pretty good book, I think the xeno biology, military and baboon sections where my favorites. I think the swearing was a little over the top in some parts, it sounds good coming from your vids, but it started sounding a little like every character was you in a different costume by the end.
Ps Mr O'Nella if you read this, I would like a sequel to your historia naturalis video.

An amazing collection of short stories spanning a whole range of genres and topics. Philosophical enough to make you think, funny enough to make you laugh. Overall I found myself getting lost in it, finishing the last 100 pages or so in a sin g le sitting.
I really hope Sam continues to write and release books. If this is his debut piece I cannot wait to see what else he has to offer!
Also, shout out to anyone in recovery. Keep it up.

It is indeed, a book. And I very much enjoyed it.
I’ve always loved Sam’s content on YouTube and I was very excited when I heard about this book. I found the short stories in this book to be on-brand with the “Sam O’Nella” sense of humor and blended nicely with compelling sci-fi/futuristic stories that had me hooked from start to finish. I literally couldn’t stop reading. I skipped meals, forgot to sleep, and lost all contact with my friends and family. Great book!

Don’t know why Sam regards The Prophet as the weakest link in the story notes. Definitely one of my favorites along with Beat, and Eggs for Algernon. I’ve been recommending this book to all my friends; would love to see more from Sam in the future.
March 6, 2026
Silly youtube stick figure man made me laugh and think (unfortunately).
March 7, 2026
Not perfect but I really enjoyed it. It’s refreshingly unique and is the first book I’ve finished in awhile after being bored by other books I’ve tried over the few last months.

3.5 stars. SPOILERS AHEAD!!
this book definitely needs more recognition. Its funny as fuck. Especially Eggs for Roman, and I'm a major fan. But obviously, I'm a nitpicky reader and author and I do have some critiques.
Number 1: filler paragraphs. I completely understand that this person explained that the filler is supposed to be for the nerds but honestly, some of the stuff could have easily been edited out and been the same effect of laughing and giggling.
Number 2: getting immersed. Sometimes the short story goes wayyyy too fast paced for me and I lose tbe immersion immediately. Xenos is a great example. Also, that part about the "blood" being stolen could be a great concept about the body of Xenos itself. I wished we learned more about them and yet it seemed to not have worked at all. Or the author seemed to have so many good creative stories, from Four Little Words (thought it couldve been cut out or maybe longer since it hardly made sense at all) to Nothingness and Beat, but crammed it until it sorta...sucked. The book was a quick read and I loved it, especially with how in detail it got about Xenos itself and making slurs like "Silly". But...why not go even more in depth? It was so close, yet so far. I have no say, but I'm a curious mind who craves the in depth knowledge about stupid things 💜 anyways, I enjoyed this book and its humour. Not the best book ever, but the best book I've read this year so far. At 30,000 feet, I fuck my harem.

Still Lost is a comfortable and quick read, which does a little with a lot (rather than the contrary) - and yet I couldn’t come up with a better way to enjoy these stories than to microdose on them. It says one thing about a writer’s skill to make short stories feel complete, but it says even more when a tiny story such as ‘Four Little Things’ gives you as much pause as ‘Xenos’.
I went into reading this book expecting the author’s personality to be a mismatch for the genre, and yet found a book that evoked as much poignancy in me as it did laughter. While I think the author’s tone was occasionally disruptive to the story, I think that anybody who can take such things into consideration while reading ‘Eggs for Roman’ should really reread ‘Being a Nothingness’ at least one more time. It was made for you, lil’ bro.
It’s a shame that the first story was arguably the weakest, in both humor and intrigue for me. Still, after reading the other reviews of this book, it’s very clear to me that the read is as much a Rorschach test as it is a collection of Sci-Fi stories. I look forward to passing my copy to my social circle, and seeing which stories resonate most with them.

Thorium, Non-water floods, Dead body hijinks, eels. Long ago the niche subjects lived in harmony until the mid-youth crisis attacked. Only Sam O’nella master of all crudely drawn educational videos could stop it, but when millions of ill-adjusted teenagers and their ilk needed him, he vanished. 6 years passed and my brother and I discovered a new idiot to listen to, an author named Sam Miller. Although his smorgasborg of short fiction is great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to crudely animate Pliny explains it all part 2, but I believe Sam can save the world.
March 4, 2026
Sam Millers first book "Still Lost" was a particularly good read. Out of the 8 books, Eggs for Roman was my favorite, with Being a Nothingness and Beat not far behind. While he struggles with a consistent narrative the entire way through (Why did we mostly forget about the Xenos 3 books in), the book was well written, each story being very entertaining, I'll be sure to catch whatever he writes next. Alot of long words here that made me feel dumb too. 7.5/10
March 6, 2026
The first book I have truly enjoyed reading in a while. Wonderfully weird, humorous, and dystopian yet just relatable enough to make you uncomfortable in the similarities we see in ourselves. I had initially bought this book as a gesture of appreciation and support for the hours of entertainment his YouTube videos have brought me over the years, and my expectations were exceeded - This was such a fun read ! Really hoping to see more from Sam in the future :]
March 7, 2026
Unsurprisingly hilarious, Sam has clearly spent too much time in his own head. This book has too many laugh out loud moments and themes.
When it comes to story collections, I generally like to provide a list of my favorite ones. For still lost, I have no favorites! They're all rich in their own ways, and I will be re reading this collection again and again for a long time.
I'm so excited to see what Sam releases next... even if it takes another 4 years!

Classically comedic and delightfully edgy for Mr. Miller. He clearly put a lot of thought into this world and these stories. Would expect nothing less! The ONLY thing I thought fell flat was descriptions of characters and locations to really put me in the setting. Otherwise, phenomenal breakout work! Every page is filled to the brim with character, even the ones most people skip over.
March 2, 2026
As a fan of Sam's YouTube, I had very high expectations. Those expectations were met. This is a great book that makes you think while also being entertaining. The only criticism I have is that the voices of the different characters were not that distinguishable through the different stories, but for his first book, he knocked it out of the park. This is a 10/10 would recommend for me.
March 7, 2026
I really really enjoyed this thing from front to back, quite thinky while also being quite a fun time. All being balanced very well no emotional scene was undercut unnecessarily by humor, all is playing together well and all of it (aside from the admittedly purposefully silly grass story) is quality work. I’m extremely excited to see his next work when/ if that comes out.
March 5, 2026
Still lost is an incredibly funny and breezy read, with just enough depth and sci-fi world building to make you think. It has entered the very short list of books that has actually made me laugh out loud while reading.
March 11, 2026
I really enjoyed it- watched Sam O Nella for a while and so I was super excited to hear about the book. He does a great job of deadpan humor and dark storytelling- kind of reminds me of the book Oreo. Supremely engaging but intellectual as well :)
