Stories from the Cycle Book Description A UNIQUE SCIENCE FICTION. UNIQUE DRAWINGS. In 1954, the Swedish government began efforts to build the world's largest particle accelerator. The facilities were completed in 1969. The research station was located deep in the rural area of Mälaröarna. Local people called this technological miracle the Loop. Simon Stålenhag's drawings, in which he adorns Sweden's 1980s suburbs with extraordinary machines and unusual creatures, have been met with great interest from the moment they first appeared on the Internet. The mysterious machines he added to the background drawings of vintage cars and workers' overalls in his childhood adventures created an atmosphere that was both familiar and different. In this book, Stålenhag's extraordinary drawings are accompanied by strange stories of local people who have lived in the shadow of these machines for years. This region, known as the land of the Loop, comes to life again with the memories and notes of the people who spent their youth there. “A world comparable to that of Arkadi and Boris Strugatsky's masterpiece Picnic in Space: Technology is everywhere but forgotten, abandoned and ready for reinvention.” –io9 “Remains of an abandoned government science project.
