About this series

In the year 2029, the barriers of our world have been broken down by the net and by cybernetics, but this brings new vulnerability to humans in the form of brain-hacking. When a highly-wanted hacker known as 'The Puppetmaster' begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster. The pursuit will call into question what makes a human and what is the Puppetmaster in a world where the distinction between human and machine is increasingly blurry.

Product Feature

The Making of Ghost in the Shell, Complete Movie Production Report.

Product Description

In a world caught in the grip of information overload, where artificial intelligence is more than the real thing and cyborg cops spend their lives surfing on an electronic sea of living data, only the Ghost - the indefinable element of human consciousness - exists to determine who is alive and who is purely a creation of the net.

Major Motoko Kusanagi is an elite officer in the Section 9 security force: a cybernetic agent so heavily modified that little more than her Ghost remains. Along with fellow cyborg Bateau and the mostly human Togusa, Kusanagi is set on the trail of a computer-criminal known as the Puppet Master, a data thief skilled enough to hack into the very minds of his victims. His human marionettes live out existences that are nothing more than computer generated fantasy, unwittingly committing their master's crimes while the Ghost-hacker hides in the darkness.

But as Kusanagi digs deeper into the walls of secrecy surrounding the case, it appears that the Puppet Master has a special interest in her alone. And when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shadowy Section 6, enter the scene, Kusanagi becomes tangled in a web of plot and counterplot, and realizes that the true identity of her invisible assailant lies at the center of a vast and lethal political conspiracy...

Overall : For any true fan of 'Ghost' this patch says a lot. It is a great representation of The Laughing Man's logo bearing his homage to J.D. Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye'. 1st GIG perhaps the pinnacle of the 'Ghost' franchise thus far, this iconic logo will instantly convey o ... Read More

Rating : Average Rating of 5 out of 5

Overall : This product is excellent. It is of very high quality and quite attractive. It is large enough to attract the eye, but still discreet and subdued. The actual patch looks much nicer than the photo posted here would suggest. I am quite happy it, exceeding my expectations ... Read More
