Simon Stalenhag recently launched, funded and shipped an art book called The Electric State. The narrative behind these dystopian images is established well but with enough vagueness to add your own flavoring:

In late 1997, a runaway teenager and her yellow toy robot travel west through a strange USA, where the ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside heaped together with the discarded trash of a high tech consumerist society in decline. As their car approaches the edge of the continent, the world outside the window seems to be unraveling ever faster as if somewhere beyond the horizon, the hollow core of civilization has finally caved in.

On the whole, it's a beautiful collection of images featuring a not so beautiful future. It's no wonder that the Russo brothers optioned it for a film.
