Ghost in the Shell

Title: Ghost in the Shell

Story: Major Motoko Kusanagi is an elite soldier in Shell Squad, the Section 9 security force, a cybernetic agent so heavily modified that little more than her ghost remains. Along with fellow cyborg Batou and mostly human Togusa, Kusanagi is set on the trail of a computer-criminal known as the Puppet Master, a data thief so skilled that he can hack into the minds of his victims. His human marionettes live out lives that are little more than computer generated fantasies, unwittingly committing their masters crimes while he hides in the shadows. But as Kusanagi digs deeper into the walls surrounding the conspiracy, it appears that the Puppet Master has a special interest in her alone. And when the ministry of foreign affairs, the shadowy section 6, enter the scene, webbing her in a tangle of plot and counter-plot, Kusanagi realizes that the true identity of her invisible assailant lies at the center of a vast and lethal political conspiracy.
