Beautiful, detailed filigreed drawings fold in on themselves and blossom out at the reader as time speeds up and contracts. A loose story is told that involves a society of giant people, strange art, and inexplicable scientific experiments utilizing nonexistent technology. Factories and tree houses teem with life, and the city nestles up against a landscape filled with dinosaurs, apes, and dragonflies living peacefully side by side.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntelligent Sentient?\u003c\/i\u003e is a series of images that are tied together not in narrative but in a progressing theme, the takeaway being that everything is connected. The drawings contain the fine detail of a watchmaker and the visual scope of a social reform muralist. This book is meant to be read forward and backward and returned to and treated like a mystical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096674373872,"sku":"9781770461772","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770461772","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
