The Electric State by Simon Stålenhag
5.0
This book was Douglas-Coupland-grade depressing. Slow slide down the mood level, into a heap of sobering helplessness. I kind of enjoyed this subversion of typical zombie apocalypse heroine. She's presenting as determined and driven, except in the end, we can see that her effort was driven mostly by her psychosis.
The art and text go well together, and it's important to take in both at the same time. I was impressed by author's ability to so perfectly create two complementary vehicles for the story.
