👉🏼 NEW BOOK REVIEW 👈🏼

The hopes of humanity rest on the shoulders of one chess player. It’s May 1997 in Manhattan, New York. World champion Garry Kasparov is about to begin a six-game chess match against Deep Blue, the cutting edge IBM supercomputer.

MIND VS MACHINE a middle-grade graphic novel written by @stevesheinkin and @mauriceashleychess and illustrated by 
@thiendog, offers a unique perspective on one of the most consequential sporting events, if you will, in recent history.

What stood out to me after reading MIND VS MACHINE is how people 20+ years ago were asking very similar questions as today. With the pros and cons of AI currently on everyone’s mind, MIND VS MACHINE connects the past to the present in a meaningful and fascinating way. The writing is exciting and the illustrations are expressive, detailed, and help set the tone of the story. 

An all-around phenomenal read, in one of my favorite styles of writing, the graphic novel!

Watch my book review to hear more about the story and why I think MIND VS MACHINE is a must-read!

If you love discovering books that stay with you long after you have finished reading, I think this is one you will want to add to your reading list. Out in September 2026
