Luz






Luz: Girl of the Knowing is a brilliant comic written and drawn by Claudia Dàvila. It relates the experiences of a girl trying to prepare for a post peak-oil world. The comic itself is full of neat ideas and solutions. However the real power of the comic is to make the problems of surviving in a world without oil or coal or natural gas much more real than mere theoretical considerations, entertained by scientists and used by politicians. It really brings home the dillemmas and sacrifices that we will have to face in order to live beyond the tyranny of oil. More than just a very cute comic fill of resources, Luz is really a wake up call to those who think these problems are far away, and the solutions unrealistic.
