This is a definitive new edition supervised by creator Shirow Masamune. It is in the original, right-to-left format with Japanese sound effects for the first time! Following World Wars III and IV a Japanese-led Asian block dominates the world. A key element in the maintenance of the block's position is the elite Japanese security police, the SHELL task force. To give them an edge in their ruthless battles against terrorist groups, most of the force has had extensive cybernetic transplants that have left them only questionably human. This is an exciting and skillful work that realistically probes uses of artificial intelligence and 'direct interfacing' with machines, and which questions where mankind's technological and medical progress will lead.
