Netflix seriesLove, Death + Robotsis getting an official illustrated companion book, and Collider has your exclusive look at the images and foreword forThe Art of Love, Death + Robots, which will dive deep into the creative process behind the hit show. Created byTim MillerandDavid Fincher,Love, Death + Robotsinvites different directors and artists to bring sci-fi stories to life. The new companion book will explore the artistic choices made for each episode of the three volumes of the anthology, with the third volume set to premiere on Netflix in 2022.
The Art of Love, Death + Robotsalso comes with a foreword from science-fiction authorJohn Scalzi, who had three different short stories adapted in the first volume ofLove, Death + Robots: “Three Robots,” “When the Yogurt Took Over,” and “Missives From Possible Futures #1: Alternate History Search Results.” In his foreword, Scalzi praises the show and how it makes the universes he created “wider, more colorful, more visceral.” Scalzi also underlines how the different crews have the freedom to experiment in each episode ofLove, Death + Robots, which helps create distinct worlds that he’s excited to explore as part of the audience.
Since the unique art style of each episode ofLove, Death + Robotsis one of the main reasons the show became so popular, a book that looks behind the scenes would be incomplete without some breathtaking images. That’s whyThe Art of Love, Death + Robotsfeatures an abundance of beautiful concept art, character studies, costume sketches, paintings, vehicle designs, storyboards, early vision decks, and finished frames. Also, to help fans make sense of every piece of art, the book includes interviews with key artists and creatives, along with Miller and Fincher.
