the entire Ghost in the Shell series is a must see!
set in a cyber punk setting, i think it would catch interest from most of us computer enthusiasts.
the original author of the manga (Masamune Shirow) was heavily interested in technology, and it shows.
extremely deep, its my absolute favorite anime/manga sofar.
it also strongly influenced the Wachowski brothers in the making of The Matrix

and hidden within the Innocence movie i found this shot of their little tribute to IRIX (or at least gr_osview
)

The "digital rain" is strongly reminiscent of similar computer code in the film Ghost in the Shell, an acknowledged influence on the Matrix series

Japanese director Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell was a strong influence. Producer Joel Silver has stated that the Wachowski brothers first described their intentions for The Matrix by showing him that anime and saying, "We wanna do that for real". Mitsuhisa Ishikawa of Production I.G, which produced Ghost in the Shell, noted that the anime's high-quality visuals were a strong source of inspiration for the Wachowski brothers. He also commented, "... cyberpunk films are very difficult to describe to a third person. I'd imagine that The Matrix is the kind of film that was very difficult to draw up a written proposal for to take to film studios". He stated that since Ghost in the Shell had gained recognition in America, the Wachowski brothers used it as a "promotional tool".
