Summary: Master at work
Review: These books have to be some of the best storylines on the market. Shirow delivers a indepth, vibrant and not-so-perfect view of the future. With all of the advances in genetics and technology, will humanity ever find true happiness? These books look at this and other issues that might face humanity in a eutopian society. This book is a must for those who either love Shirow's work, or are looking for a more intense, and thought provoking story.

Rating:

Summary: Welcome to the golden cage...
Review: World War Three is over. Nuclear weapons were not used, but just about everything else was. Old nations have died out and new powers have replaced them. A nomad soldier, Deunan Knute, and her cyborg partner, Briareos, have been taken from the ruins, out of the wastes, to utopia. A utopia called Olympus, the central city of the new Earth.
Yet, even utopia has power struggles. Will mankind be changed and became something better IF nonhuman or embrace total peace at the cost of his spirit? Or will it all be destroyed again by uncontrolled emotions such as hate and greed?
Or will mankind be able to find a way, a path that combines it all? Shirow is the best artist to help us ask the question and maybe the only one who can help us answer it.
