The Ghost in the Shell Volume 1

In the cybernetic future of the 21st century, the line between man and machine has all but disappeared. Humans enhance themselves with mechanical implants while robots evolve with human-like consciousness. Within this rapidly merging world, the elite agents of Public Security Section 9 operate in the shadows — tracking and neutralizing terrorists, cybercriminals, and rogue AIs known as ghost hackers. 

The Ghost in the Shell Volume 1 introduces Masamune Shirow’s groundbreaking cyberpunk vision — a richly detailed world of philosophy, identity, and technology that would go on to inspire a global multimedia phenomenon, including acclaimed anime films and television series.
