GOLEM by LRNZ – An Imaginative Political Sci-Fi Graphic Novel

Young Steno Critone doesn’t want to stop dreaming.

In a world where no one has the time to try something that isn’t already provided by the system, Steno fears that his dreams will one day die.

He has no idea that the fate of the world relies on his ability to dream.

Set in the future, post-Eurozone Italy, entrenched in a culture of hyper-capitalism, GOLEM follows young Steno Critone as he is kidnapped during a political protest gone sour. Taken in by the band of labeled “terrorists,” he learns that things are not as they seem in society and that he has the power to not only change the city but reality itself.

This intensely imaginative political-sci-fi graphic novel is a visual tour de force, created by contemporary design icon Lorenzo Ceccotti, better known as LRNZ, whose design-influenced illustration provides a lush, fluid backdrop of manga-like dynamism with the cinematic scope of western comics, creating a style that is wholly unique and breathtaking.

GOLEM is an emotionally charged, thought-provoking graphic novel that follows Steno’s journey as he discovers his power to create his own destiny. As he dives deeper into the mystery of his new home, he discovers the true power of dreams and how they can shape the future of the world.
