    Doctor Stone is vaguely similar, just really bad.

    Everyone on earth gets frozen for 10,000 years. Super-genius engineer is unfrozen and the only people left are a tribe living in a new stone age. He recreates modern society (All technology and social development works exactly like it's described in highschool textbooks) while fighting the villain who is trying to prevent capitalism/industrialized warfare/imperialism (by destroying any technology and being really evil).

      The best part about Doctor Stone is how fun the concept is.

      The worst part about Doctor Stone is that the "genius" is an awful neoliberal who wants to bring back the free market.

          Yeah, fair fair. I spent too much time watching the anime thinking "but the Tarzan looking dude is right!" and have completely clouded my own view of the MC. He's definitely more of an apolitical technocrat, as you say.

      I thought it was pretty explicit that the MC has selfish motivations (He wanted to be an astronaut when he grows up and he's going to get what he wants), and the designated antagonist's flaws are literally everything about Anarcho-Primitivism which we make fun of. I consider the actual main characters to be the villagers, who are repeatedly shown to not be as stupid or helpless as one might expect from this kind of story. They straight up re-invent the water wheel with no prompting from the MC just by observing the mechanisms he already built and noticing that the same principles apply to a flowing stream.
