Description
The year is 2029. Much of the world has cybernetic implants. Japan's Section 9 (a cybercrimes division), takes on whom they assume is a hacker named The Puppet Master, who is hacking the 'ghosts' of ordinary citizens as well as political leaders in an attempt to control them. What they discover instead has heavy ramifications for the entire world, and especially Major Kusanagi of Section 9. Heavy cyberpunk, police, and girls & guns action by famed mangaka Shirow Masamune.
