    From Wikipedia:

    Set in Japan in 2029, Motoko Kusanagi is a cyborg who leads an elite combat unit that includes fellow cyborg Batou. In a world connected by vast information networks, where cybernetic enhancement has increasingly blurred the distinction between humans and machines, Kusanagi seeks to establish a specialized force capable of responding proactively to emerging technological and security threats.

    I kinda found futuristic 2029 funny, but I keep forgetting we already live in a dystopian future

        I don’t think Evangelion has a global government. That the US and EU are running their own fully independant Eva programs that Japan and Nerv have very limited influence over is a plot point when Asuka is introduced. There’s a global military alliance against the angels, but it doesn’t seem to go further than that.

        What, in 2001 Spacey Odyssey we had Moon colonies and the story takes place near a Jupiter’s moon… in Blade Runner in 2019 we had established colonies thousands of light years away…
