Here’s a comprehensive write-up for Shinsekai Yori (From the New World). You can use this for a blog, review, or analysis. At first glance, Shinsekai Yori — From the New World —seems like a supernatural coming-of-age story. But to call it that is like calling 1984 a romance novel.

The Premise (No Major Spoilers) The story takes place a millennium from now. Humans have developed psychokinesis—the power to move objects with their minds. But this “cursed power” comes with a terrible price. Society has collapsed and re-formed into a seemingly peaceful, pastoral utopia: Kamisu 66, a small Japanese village.
