Judging the Cover: The Influencing Machine

Judging the Cover: 
The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone on the Media
Author: Brooke Gladstone
Illustrator: Josh Neufield

A non-fiction graphic novel that isn't a memoir or about comics? You betcha. This one caught my eye right away with both the analog technology-influenced cover art and the cartoonified woman. My graphic novel sense tingled. Brooke Gladstone, NPR journalist and author of the book, called The Influencing Machine “a treatise on the relationship between us and the news media.” I'll be checking this one out for sure.
