In this odd little show, our protagonists are the last remnants of the human race, eking out an existence in an apocalyptic world where technology exists, but the world is run down and untamed once more. Our heroine is a bit of a nice, if self-serving young woman who is ambivalent about her job and life in general. She's an ambassador to the "fairies", tiny hominids with magic powers who now seemingly exist as the dominant life form on earth.
The show satirizes a lot of things, doujinshi culture, consumer culture, NASA's Voyager program (seriously) and even human civilization itself. It's an incredibly unique anime with strange but lovable characters and, no word of a lie, my favorite ED of any anime ever made. It's not a show for everyone, but I love it. The LNs are great too, and have a considerably "out of left field" twist, but it fits with the series and its strangeness. I've never seen a show like it before and likely never will again.
