Classic cyberpunk entwined flawlessly with Jewish mythology to create a fascinating dive into the ethics of creating a person, how we define personhood, and whether that which we create ever truly belongs to us. This is set against a backdrop of a capitalist, conformist hellscape, and the small, beautiful Jewish town standing against it, prioritising community and refusing to be assimilated.
