The actual plot
[edit]Why is the entire actual plot not here yet, for a book written this long ago? Wikipedia doesn't care about spoilers.
YES, I admittedly did not read the book. BUT I'm going to throw this out there: someone did. 75.117.31.123 (talk) 20:26, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- I highly recommend. Stålenhag knows his stuff. Tales from the Loop is also dope as well.
- I added the plot. Since a lot of the book is up to reader interpretation, it's sorta vague at some spots. Feel free to revise as you see fit.

Seven years this long ago. Enough for your credit history to be cleaned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.117.31.123 (talk) 20:27, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- What kind of entitled BS is this?! Wikipedia is not your bitch. If you want a detailed plot synopsis, read the book, create a user account and get to work! -- 2001:9E8:79C2:1000:AD4F:7A83:58ED:E39 (talk) 16:52, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

– Original book receives precedent over film adaptation. Sheila1988 (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2025 (UTC) — Relisted. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 01:57, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: there is an article at The Electric State title that must be dispositioned, so this proposal has been altered to reflect this need. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 02:47, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose What you call "the norm" is found at WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. What makes the book the primary topic?
- Snow Oppose agree with Tbhotch, although I can understand the sentiment. I was more than a little concerned when I read this rational, and saw the articles move from under me as I casually edited. WP:SNOWBALL. Widefox; talk 23:34, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support as WP:PT2 - graphic novel has and likely will hold more long term significance CR (how's my driving? call 0865 88318) 16:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic? ProudWatermelon (talk) 22:53, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support. The movie is somehow based on the book. A lot of movies based on books have the suffix "(film)", with the book having no suffix. Therefore the movie "The Electric State" can become "The Electric State (film)".

- Comment: Nom states Original book receives precedent over film adaptation... Not necessarily, no. Understandable assumption but contrary to Wikipedia policy. Andrewa (talk) 01:03, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support The current The Electric State should be The Electric State (film). In Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(films)#From_other_topics, when a film is based on another work, the original work is often considered as a primary topic, such as All Quiet on the Western Front, An American in Paris, and The Sound of Music. I don't think the film is overwhelmingly more famous than the original graphic novel, for the graphic novel has been well received but the film is now regarded as a flop. --saebou (talk) 20:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support agree with the long term significance is in this novel rationale, and the derivative work should have the (film) notation. -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 01:36, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
