{"product_id":"metropolis-9781569718643","title":"Metropolis","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Osamu Tezuka  creator of Astro Boy  comes Metropolis  the legendary 1949 graphic novel that inspired the animated fame that floored audiences and critics alike. In a not-so-far-off future a beautiful  artifically created girl -- unaware of her non-human background -- searches for the non-existent parents she believes must exist  wandering alone in a world populated by humans and by the slave-driven robots who serve them. Tezukas key theme of the nature of humanity in a technological society is framed in bold relief  as well as his wry allegorical observations of the Cold War that was escalating when he created Metropolis. A brilliant work of wit and wisdom -- and guest-starring some friends you may recognize from Astro Boy! -- Metropolis is one of graphic fictions most enduring tales  availabel for the first time in an English-language edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648040820789,"sku":"ByrdShop_1569718644","price":209.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781569718643.jpg?v=1781707335","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/metropolis-9781569718643","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
