While a short read, Things From the Flood manages to capture a unique and memorable glance into Mälaröarna and the treasures it holds. I found the segment about the robotic men who were left abandoned without purpose and forced to wander the woods particularly interesting. The pacing is rather well done and leads to supprisingly wholesome humor, -I especially enjoyed the Teddy segment. Overall, an excellent read. My only complaint is that the price is steep, especially for less than 200 pages. 8/10

Beautiful, & mesmerizing. This book along with the title 'The Electric State' by the same author is imaginative creepy and somehow feels allp]]⁰)] too plausible. The only regret I have is purchasing this title as an ebook and not a hardcover book. It is an amazing art book, and I feel like in order to appreciate it fully I need the art in front of me. I plan on buying both books as hardbacks.
