In a densely networked twenty-first-century metropolis where the barrier between organic humanity and synthetic technology has dissolved, cyber-crimes and ghost-hacking incidents threaten the fabric of society. Operating within the clandestine government agency Public Security Section 9, fully cybernetic operative Major Motoko Kusanagi leads a tactical squad of elite cyborg specialists, field investigators, and military tacticians. Tasked with neutralizing state-sponsored cyber terrorists and rogue artificial intelligences, Kusanagi hacks directly into high-security digital nets. Confronting philosophical questions surrounding synthetic identity, she hunts dangerous digital specters that challenge the definition of the human soul.
