![]() His art (photorealistic, washed out, laced in neon or icicles, nostalgic and futuristic both at the same time) gets into my eyes and stays there. If you're anything like me, you'll take those images to bed with you for a long time and dream of Stålenhag's America - lost to sand, to drought, to war, to loneliness, and stalked always by the low, distant rumble of something terrible rising out of the earth and coming for you." " stories crawl into my brain and mess with my memory of history, time, and place. "One part art-book, one part picture-book-the mundanity of everyday relationships play out alongside science fiction imagery that is as beautiful as it is unsettling." Providing a series of snapshots of an alternate Earth of yesteryear, it tells the story of how that world ended.” ![]() ![]() The Electric State is a striking and strangely compelling work of science fiction gothic. “An awe-inspiring vision of a species committing suicide, perhaps to be reborn as something new. Readers of bleak, emotionally rich dystopian science fiction will be fascinated with the way Stålenhag doles out details-all the way to the open-ended, heartbreaking conclusion.” This quiet, sad adventure is an excellent and visually stunning addition to any graphic novel, art, or science fiction collection.” ![]()
