"Incredibly strong and not a little disturbing." -Cory Doctorow,
author of In Real Life Welcome to a new age...the age of the
internet. Allison is drowning under the weight of her manipulative
stage magician father. When he brings home the family's first
computer, she escapes into a thrilling new world where she meetings
Samir, a like-minded new online friend who has just agreed to run
away from home with her. After moving to a new town and leaving all
of his friends behind, Richard receives a mysterious note in his
locker with instructions on how to connect to "Evol BBS," a dial-in
bulletin board system, and meets a fierce punk named Tina who comes
into his life and shakes his entire worldview loose. Unlikely
alliances, first love, and minor crime sprees abound in this teen
graphic novel debut about making connections while your world is
falling apart. "Perfectly captures the mystery and wonder of the
early days of the internet." -Andy Baio, author of Waxy.org and
co-founder of XOXO "A rush of love for brave beginnings-of both the
early internet and the teens who used it to find themselves and
each other." -Eleanor Davis, author of The Hard Tomorrow and How to
Be Happy "A compelling story complimented by pleasingly minimal art
that skillfully evokes a sense of loneliness and isolation. "
-Savanna Ganucheau, co-creator of Bloom "A sharp and authentic wild
ride that brought me back to my teenage years as a punk with a
dial-up connection." -Kevin Panetta, co-creator of Bloom "A
poignant and often hilarious reminder that technology is at its
best when it's easing the ache of loneliness and bringing people
together." -Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The
Serpent King
