Autotopia

The final installment in Green's unofficial graphic novel trilogy--a metaphysical tech-satire blending tropes from epic poetry with humorous psychedelia

In Autotopia, a new graphic novel written by musician and artistic polymath Adam Green (born 1981), the story of Hanukkah is reborn as a metaphysical tech-satire, where ketamine mysticism collides with crypto and fetish inside a simulated New Amsterdam. Greenster--Green's longtime alter ego--enters a VR metaverse overtaken by Antiochis, a tyrannical businesswoman overlord, and joins a rebel tribe of Ketamites led by Rabbi Bagelheart on a quest to recover their god WAP, who's missing from their temple. Reuniting fan-favorite characters from Adam Green's Aladdin, including Ms. President and Farmer Dave, Autotopia is both a delirious sequel and spiritual reboot--culminating in a symbolic rededication of temple, marriage and the stories we tell ourselves. Illustrated by Tom Bayne, Toby Goodshank and Green himself, and edited by Yasmin Green, this epic tale weaves together poetic and humorous psychedelia, human love and Green's mythological "Houseface" universe.
