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.</p><p>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.</p><p>A beautifully rendered debut, <em>Soul Machine</em> 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.</p><ul><li><strong>STEAM CONNECTION: </strong>Metaphysical science fiction, asks philosophical questions about the nature of reality and consciousness.</li><li><strong>NEW TAKE ON METAPHYSICS FOR KIDS: </strong>A modern A Wrinkle in Time meets Brave New World, but focused on contemporary issues and in a more accessible graphic novel format.</li><li><strong>INCREDIBLE ART:</strong> Captivating art with Belgian-influenced comic style stands out in the market, gives the book reverence.</li><li><strong>DEBUT: </strong>This is Jordana Globerman’s first book.</li><li><strong>SIMPLE BUT TOPICAL:</strong> The ideas are not overly complicated, but perfect for sparking questions in youth about how social media, mega corporations, and egomaniac entrepreneurs impact our lives.</li><li><strong>FOR FANS OF: </strong><em>A Wrinkle in Time</em> and <em>Tokyo Ghost</em></li><li><strong><em>??</em><strong>LEVELING INFO: </strong></strong>Coming soon</li></ul>
