A video essay on Simon Stålenhag, the Swedish painter who paints retroscience fiction artworks of technology left to rot in ruin, inspired in part by the failed technology experiments of the Soviet Union. Stålenhag's paintings can be found in the books Tales of the Loop (also an Amazon Series), Notes from the Flood, The Electric State and The Labyrinth.
