SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX FILM DIRECTED BY THE RUSSO BROTHERS, STARRING MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN, CHRIS PRATT AND KE HUY QUAN

A teenage girl and her robot embark on a road trip across the country in this beautifully illustrated science fiction, perfect for fans of Fallout and Black Mirror. In 1997, a teenage girl and her small yellow robot travel westward through a strange American landscape, where the ruins of giant military drones are scattered in nature, along with the debris of a society addicted to a virtual reality system. As they approach the edge of the continent, the world outside the car window seems to collapse at an ever-accelerating pace, as if the central core of civilization has finally crumbled. With its wonderfully melancholic and spare prose, and nearly one hundred gorgeous full-color illustrations, The Electric State is a novel unique in its genre.
