In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg super-agent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged to track down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including "ghost hackers," capable of exploiting the human/machine interface by re-programming human minds to become puppets to carry out their criminal ends. When Major Kusanagi tracks the cybertrail of one such master hacker, the Puppeteer, her quest leads her into a world beyond information and technology where the very nature of consciousness and the human soul are turned upside-down and inside-out. 829946 1995 Ghost In The Shell Volume 1 2nd Edition total:286|5:131|4:94|3:47|2:13|1:1| 286 1199 380 21 4 1 false false Sat Mar 22 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 18 13:43:36 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 19:24:14 -0700 2008
