NOiSE
ノイズ
by Tsutomu Nihei
The Bible has its Genesis. The Matrix has The Second Renaissance. BLAME! has NOiSE. Through the eyes of police force member Susono Musubi, this one-volume prequel gives readers a glimpse of the world before the Netsphere went haywire. Witness the events that threw the technologically advanced society into chaos: the cancerous growth of the Megastructure, the birth of the parasitic lifeforms called Silicon Creatures, and the development of the ruthless killing machines known as the Safeguards. Also included in the compilation is Tsutomu Nihei's debut work BLAME which served as the prototype of the acclaimed 10-volume series, BLAME!.
The StoryHoard editorial verdict
A taut, one-volume cyberpunk prequel about a police officer and a crisis in the netsphere, with a dense, moody world that rewards patient readers.
Pros
- Moody, dense cyberpunk atmosphere
- A compact one-volume run that does not drag
- It ties neatly into a larger sci-fi world
Cons
- The dense world-building can be hard for newcomers
- It works best with some familiarity with the wider franchise
