Introduction
The story is set in 2032, or three years after Major Motoko Kusanagi has vanished into the Network. The line between humans and machines has been blurred almost beyond distinction: humans have forgotten that they are human, and the few who still own an organic body coexist with cyborgs (human spirits inhabiting entirely mechanized bodies) and dolls (robots with no human elements at all).
Detective Batou, an agent for covert anti-terrorist unit Public Security Section 9, is assigned the case of gynoids -hyper-realistic female robots created specifically for sexual companionship- that have started slaughtering their owners. In the course of the investigation, Batou and his partner Togusa take on ferocious Yakuza thugs, devious hackers, government bureaucrats, and corporate criminals to uncover the shocking truth behind the crime.
