Book Reviews of the Ghost in the Shell Volume 1 (Ghost in the Shell)
Customer Review: Excellent japanese cyberpunk manga
Summary: 5 Stars
GITSh is a book about the dark side of cybernautics technology.
Taking place in the near future, 2030, it tells the story of
conflicting viewpoints of what conscioussness means.
Technology has become so advanced that a human soul, ghost,
can be transpanted into a cyborg body, shell. There are
many robots in the world that look human, and behave human
with the aid of AI, but only cyborgs with ghosts are truly
considered alive. Major Motoko Kusanagi is one of those
cyborgs. She is the leader of a covert actions team, in a
section of the Shinahama Police. Related incidents lead her
into an encounter with a life form known as the puppeteer, a
software program that claims to call itself a ghost. What
is a soul, and what exactly is life then? The ensuing events
are facsinating, up to the book's climatic ending, leaving
the reader wondering what the soul really is. GITSh is
beatifully drawn by one of the best Japanese Manga Artists,
and has several full color pages to complement the rest of
the black and white ones. The english translation has been
censored by Shirow, and Dark Horse, therefore I can only
give it a 9, instead of a 10 for the original.
