Short Synopsis:
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 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 the true identity of her invisible assailant
lies at the center of a vast and lethal political
conspiracy.
