A New World Rises: Tales of a Lego® Future is the unauthorised Lego® masterpiece by Lego® Masters winners Jackson Harvey and Alex Towler with children's author and illustrator, Cristy Burne.
The year is 2130, it's a post-human world and Lego® minifigures have risen to build intricate civilisations inside discarded objects. Each new city is inspired by the relics' original use.
Through A New World Rises: Tales of a Lego® Future Harvey and Towler hoped to inspire families to get out their Lego® collections and see what their imagination can build.
The new minifigure worlds have been built inside everyday items such as an old car, piano, refrigerator, ATM, jukebox, bookcase and many more.
The hardcover book features 184 pages of amazing photos with a full shot of the setup and close up shots of each part of the setup, which gives a clear insight into the hours and thought that has gone into each build.
Each page includes fun and playful text combining to give a picture of a new world rising from the debris. A world that focuses on recycling and sustainability.
A New World Rises: Tales of a Lego® Future is a 'must have' for every Lego® enthusiast, young and old.
