The story
In the not so distant future, mankind has advanced to a state where complete body transplants from flesh to machine is possible. This allows for great increases in both physical and cybernetic prowess and blurring the lines between the two worlds. However, criminals can also make full use of such technology, leading to new and sometimes, very dangerous crimes. In response to such innovative new methods, the Japanese Government has established Section 9, an independently operating police unit which deals with such highly sensitive crimes. Led by Daisuke Aramaki and Motoko Kusanagi, Section 9 deals with such crimes over the entire social spectrum, usually with success. However, when faced with a new A level hacker nicknamed “The Laughing Man”, the team is thrown into a dangerous cat and mouse game, following the hacker’s trail as it leaves its mark on Japan.

Fun as hell cyber-punk with interesting psychological, philosophical and sociological themes.
[Spoiler-free] An intelligent cyberpunk story with an excellent balance of action and philosophy.
An exceptional series that falls just short of greatness
(SPOILER FREE) A thought provoking Sci-fi Classic everyone should watch
