The Electric State by Simon Stålenhag
Set in an alternate 1997, this haunting narrative follows a teenage girl and her enigmatic robot companion as they journey across a dystopian America ravaged by a mysterious technology. The landscape is littered with the remnants of a once-thriving civilization, now overshadowed by colossal drones and abandoned machinery. As they traverse the desolate highways, the girl seeks to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of her brother, while the eerie silence of the world around them hints at a deeper, unsettling reality. This poignant tale combines evocative illustrations with a compelling story of loss, resilience, and the search for connection in a world teetering on the brink of collapse.
