The Ghost In The Shell 1 Deluxe Edition cover

This deluxe edition will mark the first time the book has been published in its original Japanese right-to-left format in English.

Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged to track down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including 'ghost hackers' who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interface and reprogramming humans to become puppets to carry out the hackers' criminal ends.

"Ghost in the Shell is one of my favorite stories." -Steven Spielberg

"A stunning work of speculative fiction." -James Cameron

“This is a work of profound and melancholic beauty; every bit as essential in the 21st century as it was in the 20th.” –Telegraph
