More recently, Stålenhag has covered the western United States in a third artbook, The Electric State, which was also crowdfunded via Kickstarter.[9] It is centered around a girl and her robotic companion traversing the fictional state of Pacifica.[10] Simon & Schuster published the UK edition in September 2018, and Skybound Books published a North American edition the following month.[11] The Electric State (the Simon & Schuster edition) was one out of six finalists for the Arthur C. Clarke Award in 2019.[12] Also in 2019, the Skybound edition was shortlisted for the Art Book category of the Locus Award.[13]
