Summary
In the world of 2030 AD, the existence of modified humans, cyborgs, robots, etc. has become very common. The protagonist Motoko Kusanagi is the crystallization of the highest technology of mankind: only the brain is a human brain, and the rest of the body is a mechanical device. She looks like a beautiful and capable young woman. In this high-tech world, it is not new for humans to achieve longevity by replacing various parts of the body. Many people's brains have also been computerized, thus truly realizing the so-called "electronic existence" (not "information-based existence"). From huge social structures to individual individual bodies, everything can be easily connected through the Internet, forming an extremely complex information network: this is the world foundation of this game. Although the computerization of human society has brought many conveniences, no matter how the materials that make up the body change, human beings still have human nature after all. Therefore, various crimes that use computers as an opportunity emerge in endlessly. Japan's Public Security Section 9 is an existence higher than the ruling class. Its function is to hunt down all criminals related to advanced computers. The criminals faced by Public Security Section 9: Sometimes they may be high-ranking officials in the government, sometimes they may be opportunists who steal other people's brains, and more likely they are their companions; every case is a rethinking of human existence and may bring heavy mental pressure to every member of the team.
