From the renowned creator of The Electric State, now a major Netflix movie, Simon St�lenhag returns with a new work of retro-futuristic dystopia set in the mysterious environs of a n abandoned Swedish military facility. An epic, beautifully illustrated science fiction story for fans of Annihilation and Station Eleven. Beginning in 2024, yet set largely during the early 2000s,�Sunset at Zero Point unfolds on a secluded Swedish island, home to a secret weapons lab that has been off-limits for years. Two young men, stuck in both the past and each other's orbit, set out to explore the forbidden zone together. Set against the backdrop of St�lenhag's native Sweden and based on an imagined version of M�lar�arna, outside of Stockholm, Sunset at Zero Point juxtaposes giant futuristic machines with the inner turmoil of characters facing a social dystopia, crafting a narrative that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant. In this, his most intimate work to date, St�lenhag's masterful storytelling and hyper-realistic art reveals not only an otherworldly alternate history, but also a poignant and profound exploration of nostalgia and enduring connection. Delving into themes of masculinity, friendship and sexuality, this is a powerful queer science fiction tale that will stay with readers long after they turn the final page.� Show more
