American Clockwork: Volume One

by Aarón Rodríguez, Bryan Norton (Illustrator)

Award-winning author Naomi Klein's non-fiction book "The Shock Doctrine", explored "disaster capitalism" - the idea that whenever there's a natural or man-made disaster, corporate forces have and will continue to descend on the aftermath to profit from it. Based on the work of authors such as Klein, historians, and leading contemporary social theorists, AMERICAN CLOCKWORK is a fictional story that examines the disaster capitalism phenomenon at work following a massive earthquake on the west coast of the United States in the near future. The plot is revealed from the perspective of an old man who lived through it all, who tells his family's tale of survival, loss, love, and endurance to his young grandson. The social, political, and personal aftermath culminate in events that change the course of history forever.
