{"product_id":"9781773219585","title":"Soul Machine by Jordana Globerman","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303617573237,"sku":"9781773219585","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781773219585.jpg?v=1762794567","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781773219585","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
