All of Yasuhiro Yoshiura's works, but specifically Pale Cocoon and Time of Eve. They're surprisingly little known, but immensely interesting.
Time of Eve is more of a post-cyberpunk positive setting, with tons of focus on artificial intelligence and it's understanding, all told through a more or less grounded story of patrons at an android sanctuary cafe. Quite a bit of Isaac Asimov influences in it, and it's themes on AI rival that of GiTS imo. There's an OVA and a movie which is just the OVA combined together and edited a little better, I watched the movie.
Pale Cocoon is a short little one-off OVA, and tons more dystopian and post-apocalyptic. Follows a data recovery expert who restores and decodes recovered digital information from the pre-catalcysm earth, in his world of a lonely and dark underground bunker shared by few others as interest of the past became lost. Really strong themes of loss, loneliness, and recovery, with some good visual storytelling to top it all off.
I'm really looking forward to seeing more from this guy.
