"A covert mission in Shanghai reunites Kusanagi with a wartime rival amid shifting loyalties. The infiltration of an anti-cyberization cult calls for Section 9's most ""human"" members to do things the old-fashioned way. A deep dive into the mind of a criminal forces Kusanagi to question the nature of imagination - and her own identity.

Reviews for Ghost in the Shell: Global Neural Network

This book is a treasure... the most interesting that the franchise has been in what feels like a decade. -Paste Hits all the familiar beats --hard-boiled dialogue, big action set-pieces, and fully grounded, gritty science fiction elements -- but does so with style and real ingenuity... Oh my yes. -NPR Every story in the anthology really grabbed onto one or more aspects of the original and ran with it. Issues of access to information, healthcare, safety; the meaning of identity in a world were you can be - and are - multiple people; the meaning of borders, of ageing, of family all were highlighted in extremely smart ways... Damned good. -Erica Friedman, Okazu Very satisfying! You don't need to know anything about Ghost in the Shell to enjoy this! -Comics Beat Required reading. -Paste Magazine A must. -Multiversity Comics
