Book overview

"In this stylish, sensual, and unnerving graphic novel, Llovet succeeds at delivering both the pleasures of a romance and the sting of a dystopian warning." --Library Journal

Babygirl meets Black Mirror in ARTIFICIAL, the new spicy sci-fi romance by acclaimed creator Maria Llovet.

Clara, a fashion stylist disillusioned with love, turns to a futuristic dating service offering lifelike android partners. What begins as curiosity blossoms into passion, but when her dream lover glitches into a possessive stalker, she finds herself trapped in a game of desire, control, and survival.

If you've devoured ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, or From Blood and Ash but have never dipped into the world of graphic storytelling, ARTIFICIAL is the perfect first spicy step.
