3.0

I read this as a teen and while I don't think I'd enjoy it today, I still think it's super neat. The anime was cool, though I didn't finish it. It has a really interesting world that unfolds slowly, mingled with (I've heard) critiques of fascism and dictatorship, so if those parts of the world bother you, the latter part of the story unpacks it more. But it takea a while to get there.
