How Amazon turned Simon Stålenhag’s ‘Tales from the Loop’ into a TV show

[ad_1] Halpern tried to replicate that human-technology relationship in the show. Like Stålenhag’s art, the loop in Ohio uses three massive cooling towers.

‘Westworld’ season 3 trailer sets the stage for an AI battle

[ad_1] Earlier this year, series co-creator Jonathan Nolan told Deadline he wanted to share a different vision of dystopia. “Dystopia can look pretty beautiful in the world,” he said. “Just because the world is corrupt inside, doesn’t mean it can’t be smothered over and pretty.
