Motorishi [Hardcover]

Hidden away by a secret society living high in the mountains of the Hindu Kush, an ancient codex known only as The Mode teaches a connection between the mechanical and metaphysial aspects of the universe and foretold of the coming of a great teacher, a mechanical messiah. A few millennia later, a group of Seekers wise in the ways of the Mode meet the Chosen One , a young mechanical genius from Detroit who they initiate into this antediluvian tradition. A prophesy, an unusual birth, mystical teachings, almost a dozen apostles, an amazingly successful ministry, plotting, betrayal, punishment... All of the elements of one of the greatest stories ever re-told. In this gentle but skewed refraction of the Gospels, Robert Greco and Shaun M. Shelton examine what it means to be a messiah in modern society, as well as the deeper question: can faith be funny?
