Tales from the Loop by Simon Stålenhag

5.0

This was fantastic. The writing, what little of it there was, were little vignettes, prose poems almost, like a still life painting set in a weird sci-fi world that defies subgenre. It’s not dystopia, nor utopia, but some of both. It’s not steampunk, but it is alternate history with more tech sooner.

Super interesting. I “read” it very slowly, leaving it on my currently-reading pile, usually only moving my bookmark forward a few pages at a time.

I think if I hadn’t watched the tv series before consuming this, I might have been even more intrigued, but I regret nothing.
