Where does humanity end—and the machine begin? In a future where humanity and machines are nearly indistinguishable, Major Motoko Kusanagi and Section 9 face threats that blur the line between man, mind, and machine. As rogue AIs and cybernetic conspiracies unfold, the team dives deep into a web of political intrigue and existential danger. With Shirow’s signature mix of high-tech action, philosophy, and cyberpunk grit, this volume continues to challenge what it means to be alive in a world run by code.
