In this sci-fi, dystopian graphic novel, aliens feed off of electricity and eat all technology. Strata lives with a caravan that collects remaining technology to preserve the past. When she, her brother, and their friend get lost in a hidden unit of abandoned technology, she finds a robot horse, but also alerts the aliens to their whereabouts. As they try to find their family, they have to navigate their way with other humans whose own needs for self preservation are an obstacle, as well as the aliens coming after them that grow stronger.
