A Wrinkle in Time meets Brave New World in this thought-provoking debut graphic novel about one girl’s quest to save her family’s livelihood–and maybe existence itself.
Chloe and her older sister make souls by hand in an empty old house in the countryside. When their supply of breth–the raw material needed to make souls–runs dry, the evil McCorp tries to force them to franchise and make synthetic souls instead. Chloe sets out to the big city in hopes of finding a new source. And maybe a way to modernize their business that Lacey is so determined to keep in the past.
On a journey to find a real breth crop, untouched by MCorp’s greedy hands, Chloe uncovers long-buried family secrets–and starts to question whom to trust and what reality even is.
A beautifully rendered debut, Soul Machine is at once a metaphysical science-fiction story and a nuanced exploration of big ideas: spirituality, family, consciousness, and connection, but also unscrupulous consumption, megacorporations, and how egomaniac entrepreneurs impact our lives.
