Ghost in the Shell

CriticsCritics: 86
AudienceAudience: 8.1

In a near-future society shaped by cybernetics and a worldwide network, brain-hacking creates new threats to human identity and privacy. A cybernetically enhanced police unit investigates a highly wanted hacker whose activities draw them into political conflict and questions about what makes someone human.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy cerebral science fiction, moody futuristic worlds, and patient storytelling; Not for you if you want nonstop action, simple explanations, or a fast-paced plot like Appleseed.
