Things from the Flood
notes
i'm ready to take a hike on this swedish island.
the juxtaposition of the mundane and the surreal match so well with the experience of this odd complexity of being human.
the wars, political divisions and social economic rifts in the context of going to work/school, eating, sleeping on rinse, wash and repeat.
my world is science fiction.

summary
In a world reshaped by climate change, giant robots and forgotten technology loom over a landscape of flooded cities. These are the stories of the people who live there: a young boy who finds a mysterious artifact in the ruins of a once-great city, a scientist who tries to unlock the secrets of the robots, and a family that struggles to survive in a harsh new world. Tales from the Flood is a collection of stories set in the universe of Simon Stålenhag's Things from the Flood , the critically acclaimed and award-winning series of paintings and illustrations that depict a haunting and surreal vision of the future. These stories are full of wonder, mystery, and suspense, and they offer a glimpse into a world that is both familiar and strange.
