Please join us for an evening with Tim Disney, the author of the new graphic novel, The A.R.C.


The A.R.C. begins at the Concordia Center in the heart of the Amazon, where a who’s who of global elites from business, finance, fashion, entertainment, technology, and online activism have gathered for the Global Reinvestment For Tomorrow Conference (GRFT), promising to solve the problem of climate change once and for all. Very little problem-solving occurs before the GRFTers are infected with a lethal, highly contagious virus, dubbed Amazonian Recombinant Cytoneuropathy (A.R.C.).

The A.R.C. virus has peculiar and unfortunate characteristics: it is wildly contagious but undetectable in its dormant phase; it is 100% lethal; and the kicker is … it’s activated by lying. This proves deeply problematic for a world drowning in an ocean of lies and misinformation. The GRFTers board their private jets and spread the virus worldwide. Chaos ensues.

 


“The A.R.C. is some of the best satire you will find. It's smart, funny and ruthless. No prisoners are taken. It's also physically stunning.”

– Percival Everett, Pulitzer Prize Winning Author

“Bitterly funny and staunchly anti-bullshit, a tale of truth, injustice, and a decidedly American Way.”

– Cory Doctorow, author of Enshittification and Red Team Blues

“The A.R.C. is a sharp, funny, and beautifully drawn satire about our age of disinformation, and what it’s doing to our politics, our planet, and our souls. I laughed, winced, and nodded all at once.”

– Rutger Bregman, historian and author of Utopia for Realists, Humankind and Moral Ambition

“Visually stunning, sharply satirical, and somehow hilarious, horrifying and hopeful all at once, The A.R.C. is the essential graphic novel for our times."

– John Carlos Frey, 6 time Emmy Award Winning Journalist
