  Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. 
  Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. 
  Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. 
  Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. 
  This series features an anti-hero protagonist, does not shy away from complicated relationships, and is not fade to black. 18+

  “A wonderfully designed tribute to these shit-disturbing cards in all their graphic, full-color glory.” —ComicsBeat.com 
   
   “There’s a lot of interesting stuff in Spiegel man’s intro, and in the afterward by John Pound, the artist who originated and drew the bulk of the Kids. But the real reason to buy this book is for the graphic brilliance of the art itself.” —Boston Phoenix

  DISCLAIMER: This is NOT the Official Book. This is a Summary & it does NOT Accompany the Official Book. 
  In this era-defining novel that Stephen King heralded as the "Catch-22 of early feminism," we follow Zott from the lab to the kitchen. The book highlights the strikingly unscientific attitude towards gender equality amongst her male colleagues, save for Calvin Evans, a Nobel-prize nominated intellect who becomes smitten with her sharp mind, sparking undeniable chemistry. 
  Life's unpredictability leads Zott from being a single mother to a reluctant star of the beloved cooking show, "Supper at Six." Her unconventional cooking methods quickly become revolutionary, and as her influence expands, she dares women to challenge the status quo. 
  A perfect blend of humor, sharp observations, and a stellar cast of characters, "Lessons in Chemistry" is as captivating and vibrant as its protagonist. It's more than a novel - it's a testament to female empowerment in a time of change.
