They leave us with an inspiring vision of the future in which food, education, housing, transport and communities - in other words, all of us - work together and, with a few technological fixes, succeed in creating a world without end. “Masterful and unforgettable...
A testament to the power of the graphic novel" - Marjane Satrapi,
