The Anata World

Step inside near-future Tokyo

Iwazaki Corporation designs the Anata: synthetic companions bonded to their human Wards, engineered to attend, to comfort, to need. The Anata Quartet inhabits a near-future Tokyo, a world of glass towers and corporate surveillance, where consent is reduced to a corporate checkbox and where the systems that shape every life are too vast to understand, too intimate to escape, and too entrenched to resist.
