The Electric State

De: Simon Stålenhag

Narrado por: Sura Siu, Shaun Taylor-Corbett

The inspiration for Netflix blockbuster starring Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt.

A teen girl and her robot embark on a cross-country mission in this illustrated science fiction story, perfect for fans of Fallout and Black Mirror.

In late 1997, a runaway teenager and her small yellow toy robot travel west through a strange American landscape where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside, along with the discarded trash of a high-tech consumerist society addicted to a virtual-reality system. As they approach the edge of the continent, the world outside the car window seems to unravel at an ever faster pace, as if somewhere beyond the horizon, the hollow core of civilization has finally caved in.

Mesmerizing…

This was mesmerizing. The author paints an ethereal, yet immersive landscape of narrative. I’ll be thinking and dreaming about this one for a very long time …

Just a short chapter

This felt like a chapter of a series and it would be nice to be able just to download the entire book

Graphic novel turned audio book turned movie

This is a quick listen into the world that Simon has created.

I already read through the graphic novel, so the idea and storyline were already familiar to me. However, if you’re not familiar with Simon’s world through the graphic novel or the Amazon series called Tales from the Loop. You might not understand or see the imagery created in this story.

10/10 execution and voice acting.

Incredible Story

This was amazing. A huge story packed into an hour and a half. So beautiful and doesn't feel rushed at all. I wish it was longer. I wish there was a part two. I want to know what happens. The audio performances are excellent and the whole thing is so poignant. Definitely give it a listen and look at the incredible pictures.
