About ‘SoXiety: The Book Of Kin’
In a melancholic city of towering skyscrapers, bombarding billboards and blinding screens, resides a dopamine addicted society. The hustle and bustle of day precedes the lonely isolation of night, as they return, alone, to soulless utilitarian apartments where screens consume their remaining waking hours.
Spiralling further into depression and anxiety, consuming more but never being nourished, one Man falls into a mysterious underworld, where a metamorphosis begins…
And when he eventually returns to the city above, a seed travels with him.
A seed of community.
A seed of hope.
SoXiety is the first in a collection of graphic novel called The Book of Kin. You can explore a wealth of resources on SoXiety, and its creation, including free access to The Creator’s Guide to the Inner World of SoXiety, at The Book of Kin website.
