![]() ![]() Ghost in the Shell follows Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cyber brain in a prosthesis, as well as one of Public Security Section 9’s most formidable counter cyber-terrorism agents. While this set-up has its luxuries and a degree of immortality, cyber brains are also open to attacks from hackers, which essentially turns the individuals into puppets who are being controlled by the hacker. The series posits a cybernetically enhanced future where much of the population have “cyber brains,” which are housed within prosthetic bodies. The anime sets its sights on cyber-terrorism in a futuristic version of Japan as its focus, with Public Security Section 9 being the group meant to fight against these crimes. Beginning as a manga by Masamune Shirow in 1989 and later a film adaptation in 1995 by Mamoru Oshii and Production I.G., Ghost in the Shell is a cyber-punk fan’s wildest dreams come true.
