Sunset at Zero Point

From the renowned creator of The Electric State, now a major Netflix movie, Simon Stalenhag returns with a new work of retro-futuristic dystopia set in the mysterious zone of an 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 weapon lab that has been off-limits for years. Two young men, stuck in the past and each other's orbit, set out to explore the forbidden zone together.

Stalenhag's masterful storytelling and hyper-realistic art transports you to an alternate history revealing his most intimate work to date, delving into themes of masculinity, friendship, and sexuality through the lens of a queer science fiction tale.

Set against the backdrop of Stalenhag's native Sweden and based on the alternate version of Maelaroearna outside of Stockholm, Sunset at Zero Point juxtaposes giant futuristic machines with the inner turmoil of its characters facing a social dystopia, crafting a narrative that is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant.
