Ghost in the Shell is a futuristic, police/noir thriller, set around the mid-21st Century, dealing with the reality of corporate power structures, and cyber terrorism, against a backdrop of technological advancement, and transhumanist cyberisation, in a Neo-Japanese state.

The narrative follows the covert operations division of the Japanese National Public Security Commission Section 9. This unit specializes in combating tech-based crimes, with a lean toward Spec Ops weapons and tactics, as well as an investigative focus on hacking, data mining, and more traditional methods of information sleuthing, and detective work.

Ghost in the Shell expands its scope beyond the narrative by exploring many rich Philosophical, Economic, Social, and Political themes. With a weighting on Existentialism and Humanism, Consumerism, economic class disparity, Industrial political corruption, and Politically radicalised splinter groups.
