Book Teaser: THE DREAM MACHINE
Experience The Dream Machine by Les Jacobson, a taut and imaginative journey through time in search of “the tool to unrule” a post-American fascism. Praised as “brilliant” by National Book Award winner Charles Johnson and “a great tale, brilliantly told” by international recording artist Roger Chase, this novel bursts with invention and surprise.
For this project, I read the book in full and brought its story to life visually, creating a cinematic teaser that captures its drama, energy, and imagination. By translating the novel’s themes into striking visuals, the teaser invites new readers into Jacobson’s richly imagined world.
