Ergo Proxy

A post-collapse series set in sealed domes, whose god-figures are called Proxies, whose episodes are titled after philosophers, and whose structure is openly Gnostic: a made world, a maker who is not the highest thing, and awakening as the only exit.

The bridge to ✧ the Gnostics, and one of the very few popular works that takes the Gnostic frame as an argument rather than as set dressing. ⚠ Note what makes it Gnostic rather than Kabbalistic, since the wings sit next to each other: the same broken world, and a completely different job. The Gnostic story ends in escape; the Lurianic story ends in repair.
