Ordinary people are left to scrape together lives in a world that's no longer built for them. These are their stories.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a frighteningly near future where Basic Income is supplemented by gig work assigned by \"the app\"...an octogenarian punk and a lonely young worker seek escape through music. A street artist makes art by night and paints over it by day. A has-been detective chases a case into a forgotten world. A drug runner makes a long, strange delivery. A writer marks her days on a decaying space station she can't leave. And a refugee asks for help in the last free place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a hard-won blend of biting satire and humanistic passion, two creators from the North of England weave together six divergent chapters into an extraordinary graphic novel. \u003ci\u003eGigs\u003c\/i\u003e is both a powerful warning about the oppressive world to come and a defiant celebration of the humanity that will sprout up in the cracks.\n\n\"A sharp, funny look at where the future's heading and what we can do about it. Emotive, thought-provoking, beautifully drawn and written with wit, this is the sort of science-fiction we need more of.\"\n\n\u003ci\u003e-- Adrian Tchaikovsky\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003eAuthor of the Hugo Award-winning Children of Time series.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark Mosedale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top Shelf Productions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.75 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5\" H x 6.83\" L x 0.78\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781603095938\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67375098724656,"sku":"9781603095938","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781603095938.jpg?v=1784224477","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/gigs-mark-mosedale-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
