Ergo Proxy (2007)
Dans un futur post-apocalyptique, une créature difforme s’éveille d’un long sommeil et s’échappe du laboratoire secret de Romdo, une cité-dôme sombre qui abrite humains et AutoReivs (des robots) dans une harmonie apparemment parfaite. Un « paradis » isolé où les résidents sont invités à consommer et à jeter sans modération et où le crime n’existe pas, grâce au contrôle presque absolu des autorités. Étant la petite fille du régent de Romdo, Re-l Mayer n’en semble pas moins hostile à ce système. En tant qu’inspectrice des Renseignements, elle est chargée d’enquêter sur un mystérieux meurtre, perpétré par un AutoReiv infecté par le virus cogito. Elle est également l’agent de probation de Vincent Law, un jeune immigrant engagé au traitement des AutoReivs infectés. Entraînée dans une spirale d’évènements hors du commun, elle va tout faire pour tenter de découvrir la vérité…
