I love the way he draws robots and technology! His way of illustrating interfacing mechanics is fascinating. The thoughts about collectiveness throughout is a joy. My favorite story is the one about the god goop.

It’s fine? The artwork isn’t to my taste but it’s easy on the eye and I like that each story has its own unique colour palette. The social commentary was pretty basic, consisting primarily of surface-level observations about modern life presented with surreal sci-fi flavour. People be online, am I right?
The first and last stories (“Memorexia” and “The Lizard” respectively) are definitely my favourites. They had a bit more substance to them, both tackling themes of grief and regret and being haunted by memories.

A sci-fi collection of comics about the (often empty) search for meaning.

Definitely not what I was expecting. I’ve read all of BB’s nonfiction graph novs. This shirt anthology collection mostly felt weird and trippy and not my thing. But it had a certain je ne sais quoi.

I got a great deal out of this. The art and writing are both slightly odd in equal measure and it works.

Hit all my sci-fi buttons, my clean segmented illustration buttons, my weird character buttons, surreal weird shit buttons, all the buttons. Weird comic collection!
