Gigs replaced jobs. Ordinary people are left to scrape together lives in a world that's no longer built for them. These are their stories. In 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.  With 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.  Gigs 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. \"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.\" -- Adrian Tchaikovsky Author of the Hugo Award-winning Children of Time series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026-06-16\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Shelf Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276894023906,"sku":"9781603095938","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781603095938.jpg?v=1787905417","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9781603095938","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
