A human and human-presenting AI slowly become friends—and maybe more—in this moving YA graphic novel from award-winning writers Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota, and illustrator J.R. Doyle.
“A sweet, smart tale of art, bitterness, enmity, and camaraderie.”—New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow
In a near future, augmentation and AI changed everything and nothing. Indira is a human girl who has been cybernetically augmented after a tragic accident, and Fawn is one of the first human-presenting AI. They have the same internship at a gallery, but neither thinks much of the other’s photography. After a huge public blowout, their mentor gives them an ultimatum: work together on a project or leave her gallery forever. Grudgingly, the two begin to collaborate, and what comes out of it is astounding and revealing for both of them.
Pixels of You is about the slow transformation of a rivalry to a friendship to something more as Indira and Fawn navigate each other, the world around them—and what it means to be an artist and a person.

I adore the art but I wish the story felt more impactful, maybe if it was longer and had more time to flesh out the characters? I’m not sure but something felt like it was missing
Indira is a human who has been cybernetically augmented, and Fawn is a human-presenting AI. After having an embarrassingly public argument, they have been forced to work together on a project in the art gallery in which they work. Slowly their rivalry begins to evolve.
An intriguing story of the near future.
(7/1/2023) a quick read, but it didn't feel rushed. wish we could have spent more time with the characters, but it was pleasing in a wrapped-up short film kinda way. the art was cool, the banter was good. worldbuilding could have gone a bit deeper, but if we think of it as a small package maybe it was just enough? undecided.
