Set in the fictional New Port City, Ghost in the Shell follows the exploits of Public Security Section 9, a task force dedicated to fighting crime and catching cyber-criminals. Our protagonist, Major Motoko Kusanagi, is a field commander who also happens to be a cybernetic human, making her vulnerable to attacks from the most advanced cyberhackers in a city teeming with corruption.
