Tales From the Loop by Simon Stålenhag
4.0
It was a good reading, although not as good as Electronic State. These are basically short, made up stories from Simons childhood, colored by science fictional and fantastical elements.
The digital art is just as good as in the aforementioned book; it is beautiful, capturing and it just feels good to look at them. I wish I was able to draw like this.
Regarding the story, there is not a continuous plot we follow (as far as I was able to judge), just little blinks, moments from his childhood, populated by robots, dinosaurs, strange, enormous, or sometimes a bit frightening machines.
If you don't spend time ten minutes looking at each artwork (which is hard to achieve), you will be able to complete the book in about 30-40 minutes, so it is also suitable before a good-night-sleep.
