This thought-provoking limited palette graphic novel by the co-creator of Mooncakes explores big questions through the eyes of an aspiring inventor and the lifelike AI she finds herself falling for.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Clementine Chang moves from Earth to Mars to start over. On the first day of her dream job working for Dr. Marcella Lin, an Artificial Intelligence pioneer, Clem meets Dr. Lin\u2019s assistant, a gorgeous, yet cold humanoid AI named Kye. Sure, Clem has built her own robot\u2014a cute moth-shaped companion named SENA\u2014but Kye feels almost\u2026human.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Clem and Kye begin to work together, their chemistry sets off sparks. The only downside? Dr. Lin won\u2019t allow Kye to become more independent. And their relationship is causing Clem to question everything she knows about her work. After all, if Kye is sentient enough to have feelings, shouldn\u2019t he be able to have his own thoughts? Where is the line between AI and human? As her future and her past weigh on her, Clem becomes determined to help Kye break free\u2014 even if it means risking everything she came to Mars for.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n
