Vibes™

This book is a collection of short stories, where Kino and his motorcycle travel to different "kingdoms" and spend three days getting to know each one. Every kingdom has a single defining feature (for example, a kingdom where everything is determined by a majority vote of the populace) and the stories basically show the current state of the kingdom as the logical yet extreme conclusion of that system.

It's a book that just kind of makes you think. At the end of several stories I had a feeling similar to the one you get after finishing a Cowboy Bebop episode, where you're just kind of considering the state of the world.
