What is The Ghost in the Shell about?
Masamune Shirow’s original Ghost in the Shell manga is one of the most iconic cyberpunk, sci-fi manga which inspired many other franchises. The original manga was published from 1989-1990 in Kodansha’s YOUNG MAGAZINE.
The story of the manga is based in mid-21st century Japan where technology has advanced to the point where a lot of people not only have prostheses but have also replaced their brains with machine parts. The whole society depends on machines and the line between humanity and technology has blurred. But this gives birth to dangerous cyber-criminals who are usually taken care of by the Public Security.
The leader of the Public Security Section 9 is Major Motoko Kusanagi, who is almost fully a cyborg, given that she has a full-body prosthesis to store her cyber brain. Kusanagi is in charge of tracking down a dangerous cyber hacking group known as Ghost Hackers who can hack into the prostheses interface and control people and bend them to their will.
