Simon Stalenhag s Tales from the Loop is a wildly successful crowd-funded project that takes viewers on a surprising sci-fi journey through various country and city landscapes from small towns in Sweden and the deserts of Nevada to the bitter chill of Siberia where children explore and engage with abandoned robots, vehicles, and machinery large and small, while dinosaurs and other creatures wander our roads and fields.
Stalenhag s paintings and stories take place in an alternate version of Sweden in the 80s and 90s, primarily in the countryside of Malaroarna, a string of islands just west of Stockholm, and how this reality came about: the development of the Loop, a large particle accelerator and the side effects of the massive project. These incredibly captivating works and accompanying text capture perhaps a not-too-distant reality that is both haunting and imminent: addressing the many ways developing technology and nature can create havoc and wonder in our world plus, its impact on the next generation.
This is the English edition of the first book in Swedish that sold out in its initial printing.

An eight-wheeled vehicle trundlesacross a barren landscape of ash and ruined buildings toward a lone bunker deepin the wilderness.
Inside the vehicle are three passengers: twoscientists--who plan to use the outpost as a home base for the study ofworld-ending phenomena--and a boy namedCharlie. As the work unfolds, the isolation andclaustrophobia of the compound threatens each member of the expedition withmadness. Forced to confront their own dark history and the struggles of thehaves and have-nots, the members of the expedition find themselves hurtlingtoward ruin.
