Description
The year is 2029. A vast electronic network covers the planet, accessible only to humans who have undergone cybernetic body augmentations and become “shells.” When a dangerous hacker named the Puppet Master begins to infiltrate the network and “ghost hack” citizens, Major Motoko Kusanagi is sent to uncover the identity and motives of this mysterious new foe. This complex and visually stunning thriller has served as inspiration for a number of films including The Matrix.
