The Electric State

Against the backdrop of a 1997 which has already felt the apocalypse, Michelle and toy robot Skip set out across the western United States to find Michelle's brother. Told in spare and melancholy prose with nearly 100 full colour illustrations.

Simon Stålenhag (b. 1984) is the internationally acclaimed author, concept designer and artist behind Tales from the Loop and Things from the Flood. His highly imaginative images and stories depicting illusive sci-fi phenomena in mundane, hyper-realistic Scandinavian and American landscapes have made Stålenhag one of the most sought-after visual storytellers in the world. Tales from the Loop was ranked one of the "10 Best Dystopias" by The Guardian, along with such works as Franz Kafka's The Trial and Andrew Niccol's Gattaca.
