The programmer’s eye
Kenji is a nerdy teenager who works for the IT desk of the social network Oz over the summer. Love Machine, a malicious artificial intelligence hacks into Oz’s security system and creates a world chaos. A tribute to John Badham’s cult film Wargames (1983) and the brilliant demonstration that manga is an account of the Apocalypse above all.
