DJ Steve Aoki’s comic book, Neon Future and Kita Sovee sees a different world in our future, No not the Terminator kind.



Electronic music producer and DJ Steve Aoki imagines a future where humans live in harmony with technology, and he’s sharing that vision in a new comic book series called “Neon Future.”

Although science fiction narratives commonly depict cybernetic machines turning on their human masters, as in “The Terminator” or “The Matrix,” Aoki doesn’t buy it.

“A general plot is that technology is destroying humanity, The robots are going to make us their slaves, or the human species is going to be exterminated by technology. But in this case, we are going to become augmented. ... We use technology for the good. It’s a different kind of story. I believe that technology will merge with us, I believe that at the end of the day, we will all become the robots. We will become cyborg beings where we can have superhuman qualities with the technology.” ” Aoki said.
Gist of the "Neon Future " is set roughly 30 years from now in a United States that has outlawed advanced technology. A civil war is brewing between people who have integrated technology into their bodies and those who have not. The resistance movement, Neon Future, is led by a longhaired, bearded, Asian-American man named Kita Sovee — whose name happens to
be an anagram of Steve Aoki. The series follows an anti-tech crusader who dies and is resurrected by a technology developed by Aoki's character.
Apparently there is an appetite for this kind of comic or stories. The first issue, which debuted last year, sold out at stores, he said. “Neon Future” is available at Comixology and Impact Theory’s official website . If you are wise, you may even find a way to get a free PDF version.

The stories are being written so that each six-issue arc will eventually be released as a graphic novel.
