Ghost in the Shell 2.0

In 2029, with the advance of Cyborg technology, the human body can be "augmented" or even completely replaced with cybernetic parts. Another significant achievement is the World of Ghost in the Shell#Cyberbrains, a mechanical casing for the human brain that allows access to the Internet and other networks. An often-mentioned term is "ghost", referring to the consciousness inhabiting the body (the "shell").
