Description
When young art prodigy Ingrid Kraemer is told that the woodland elf that has befriended her is actually an android, she can't believe it. Neither can the NRG robotics corporation that dominates the country with tyrannical control. With a virtual monopoly on all robotics, they know this android masquerading as an elf isn't one of theirs.
Ingrid just wants to pursue her passion for art, but after she draws a detailed picture of the elf, she finds herself thrust into the middle of a worldwide battle for technological supremacy... and it all revolves around a painting from 1918.
Advance Praise
"Ingrid is one of those books that defies classification. On the surface it is the story of Ingrid, a young art prodigy from the mid-west whose talents bring her fame as she studies painting in Italy. However, the main theme of the novel is a warning about the monopolistic dangers of big tech as they exert ever increasing control over our everyday lives. The story is cleverly structured as a sort of allegorical fairy tale. Little by little Ingrid is unwittingly drawn into the middle of a power struggle for technological dominance. And like everyone else, she has no idea what it will lead to."
