Early birthday present from my family.
(my birthday is the 23rd. Got express shipping to make sure it delivered to my door)

So excited to look at beautiful robots.

Robots 1:2 is a photography book of the collection at Vitra Design Museum.
Picured is the first and last robot in the book (details in alt text). I've always been interested in these early tin robots

The Electric State by Simon Stålenhag is sort of an art book and a sci-fi narrative/(fantasy)American roadtrip.
Haven't read anything by him yet, but I fell in love with the illustrations. So excited to explore his world

Third is Anime Arcitecture - Imagined Worlds and Endless Megacities by Stefan Riekeles (more in next post)

- I really tried with the alt text but am kinda guessing a lot

Did I want Anime Arcitecture just bc it featured Metropolis... Maybe.

It is a beautiful hardcover featuring early drafts, storyboards, original background paintings and exclusive material from some pivotal sci-fi anime movies - Akira, Patlabor: the Movie, Patlabor 2: the Movie, Ghost in the Shell, Metropolis, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Tekkonkinkreet, Rebuild of Evangelion

I do wish it also had Steamboy and Memories, but I am so excited to deep dive into these sci-fi worldbuilding notes
