About this audiobook
**What moves us before we even know we’re moving?**
*Ghettos Around the Globe: The Frequency Dreams of Ratman* is a fast-moving **Poetic Cinema Toon** where superhero action, street humor, dream imagery, and deeper questions collide.
When Ratman falls into a powerful dream, he and his crew—including Lady Wonder Bread, Speed Sted, Flashdance, Graffiti Cop, Uplift, Lady Smoke, and Broken Toy—travel through strange worlds shaped by sound, language, color, rhythm, desire, technology, pressure, and attention.
But this isn’t a story about people being controlled. It asks something more complicated: **What influences us, what do we influence in return, and where does choice begin?**
Funny, imaginative, action-packed, and thought-provoking, *The Frequency Dreams of Ratman* turns the modern world into a living cartoon where every signal carries a question.
**Read the action. Feel the art. Question everything.**
**Created by Vernon Snell | Poetic Cinema**
