Manga review: Blame!
STORY: 6
Meet Killy, a mysterious man with a few words in a future where even the concepts of time and space seem to be lost. His mission is to find a human whose genes have not been altered too much. Those genes are the only way for humans to re-establish contact with the net sphere, a space or entity that is cut from the rest of the world, in order to remove the looming threat of annihilation.
Silicon life, Toha Heavy Industries, Safeguards, the plot can be confusing sometimes, so, if you cannot get in its particular flow, the story for you will simply be “a boy with a big gun goes up a LOT of stairs, looking to repair wifi”.

I read this 20 years ago and, for the first time, it feels 20 years was not that long ago. Great manga. Atmosphere is really 70 percent of it, and the art. So many silent chapters. One thing that people might really appreciate is it’s really transhumanist, or post human. The themes might reflect our society, but they are not really us.
@elfpie Yes, everything is so distant both in time and space that this future becomes a ‘why not?’ after all that time. And it’s a good (re)read today with all the enthusiasm for tech and AI while the environment is collapsing.
