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 Mc Corp 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 M Corp'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.

A vigilant guard keeps a close eye on the energetic little girl, but even so, Anna manages to set off an alarm and almost tip over a vase. A half-open door draws Anna's attention, but the No Entry sign means yet again that it's off-limits. This time, however, the guard surprises her by inviting her to go in. Here she finds a 'secret workshop" where paintings are being cleaned and repaired. Staring out from one of the canvases is a girl who looks grumpy and bored | ??just like Anna herself.
