Schoolbot 9000: A Graphic Novel cover

A hilarious—and ominous—new graphic novel series about what happens when one school’s human teachers are replaced by robots

James Gordon is already annoyed by the robots in his life—the drones that look like bugs, the dogbots at the park, his HomeBot babysitter, and now? He’s just found out that Schoolbots are replacing all of his favorite middle school teachers.

James’s teachers have always cared about his feelings and supported his art, but with the news that artificial intelligence is replacing them, James’s life feels like it’s full spiraling into chaos. All the Schoolbots care about is improving students’ test scores and efficiency, and they’ve had some seriously unnerving glitches.

James is determined to fight back but is going to need some help from a very unlikely ally in order to keep these robot teachers from taking over his school.
