Winner, 2023 Hugo Award—Best Graphic Story or Comic!
Two scavengers veer paths in their pursuit of happiness through the streets of Night City.
Tasha and Mirek make a living for themselves stealing cyberware and indulging in parties and braindances. Tasha is rowdy and wild--she seeks to up her street cred to become the most famous gangster in the city. Mirek, on the other hand, is a calm introvert--he longs for something more--meaning, belonging, warmth. He soon finds hope in an unexpected braindance. As he and Tasha chase their dreams, their paths begin to deviate. Where will they find the happiness they've been searching for? Does it even exist to be found? One thing they can both agree on, in a place like Night City--you run, you fight, you change, or you die.
Written by Bartosz Sztybor (CD PROJEKT RED writer and narrative manager, Witcher: Fading Memories)) with art by Filipe Andrade (Old Man Logan, Rocket Raccoon & Groot) and Alessio Fioriniello (Paris Fashion Slam) comes a tale about the demanding life of Night City--where lives are lost, dreams are shattered, and hope is found in what remains.
Bartosz Sztybor was born in the summer of 1984 in Warsaw, Poland. He is a writer of both comic books and movie scripts, a scriptwriter of TV shows and documentaries, and an author of children's books. He has written dozens of comic books and graphic novels in Poland, including the series for teens Niezła draka, Drapak! with art by Tomasz Kaczkowski; the award-winning autobiographical graphic novel Come Back to Me Again, with art by Wojciech Stefaniec, and a few works without words illustrated by Piotr Nowacki (Tainted, It's Not About That and Options).
