Launch Night: Eliza - The Ghost in Every Machine
Free event • Books available now for delivery at event or anywhere in the UK and Europe.
It's finally launch time!
What if our technological future didn't have to be inevitable?
Join futures designer Viraj Joshi to explore two brand-new graphic novels that imagine better technological futures through bold visual narratives and speculative worlds.
📖 The Complete Cartoon Collection (184-page hardback) gathers every Eliza cartoon, alongside a catalogue of curious inventions from Eliza's world, some behind-the-scenes, and deep dives into Eliza myth & lore.
🌱 Imagine with Eliza (32-page paperback) anthology of four speculative tales, visual experiments, and provocations, inviting you to imagine a solarpunk world, alternative internets, and instruction manuals for human-machine harmony.
More about Eliza and the books.➚
The books take you through vibrant worlds including a Solarpunk reality where technology doesn't cost the planet, alternative explorations of the internet, and handy-dandy instruction manuals for human-machine harmony.
Get behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process from imagining poignant speculative design and discover how these ideas become visual worlds, and how putting speculative fiction 'out there' can shape how we think about our technological future.
