Major Motoko Kusanagi is an elite officer in Section 9 security force: a cybernetic agent so heavily modified that little more than here Ghost remains. Along with fellow cyborg Bateau and the mostly human Togusa, Kusanagi is on the trail of a computer-criminal known asthe Puppet Master, a data theif skilled enough to hack into the very minds of his victims. His human marionettes live out existences that are nothing more than computer generated fantasy, unwittingly commiting their masters crimes while the Ghost hacker hides in the darkness. But as Kusanagi digs deeper into the walls of secrecy sourrounding the case, it appears that the Puppet Master has special intrest in her alone. And when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shadowy Section 6, enter the scene, Kusanagi becomes tangled in a web of plot and counterplot, and realizes that the true identity of her invisible assailant lies at the center of a vast and lethal political conspiracy...

Is that good enough?
