Ghost in the Shell: The Official Movie Novelizatio

Ghost in the Shell by James Shallow is a Novelization based on the 2017 film “Ghost in the Shell” a film based on a popular Japanese Comic/Anime. Imagine the near future. Imagine that instead of using a clunky keyboard and monitor to read this website, you could have this blog downloaded directly into your brain. Imagine that the line between Man and Machine continues to blur until computer viruses infect living minds, and corporations and governments can reprogram people’s thoughts and personalities to suit their political agendas. Such is the Sci-fi cyberpunk style world of Ghost in the Shell movie.Ghost in the Shell, tells the story of Major Motoko Kusanagi a severely injured woman turned into a cyborg super soldier and the members of Section 9, an elite unit of crime fighters who specialize in taking down the cyber-terrorists of the future, including ghost hackers – criminals who reprogram their victims into mindless slaves and destroy their very souls. While on the trail of one such cyber terrorist, the genius known only as Kuze who is bent on the total destruction of the Hanka Robotics Corporation, Kusanagi begins to suspect that her nemesis may be an intelligence born from the fabric of the Internet itself with no real existence in the physical world, and may also have a connection to her mysterious forgotten past.James Shallow’s Movie adaptation contains enough detail and intrigue to make this more than just a casual read. It expands a lot that wasn’t in the movie, and has a lot of great action. Overall, Aside from that, yeah, this is a very close retelling of the 2017 film's events into paperback format. Some scenes have extra snippets of dialogue that would have likely been cut from the film for pacing that, again, film fans will appreciate for the added drops of lore they may present as well as building the sci-fi world of 2040 Japan more, if only by a margin... All-in-all it's a good read for any Ghost in the Shell fan!

Altered at the last minute by a different author to accommodate late script changes to the movie, this much delayed tie in novel is just as insulting to the original as the movie is.

James Swallow's novelization of Ghost in the Shell is out and I can say definitely worth the wait! His ability to write top notch in cannon literature has been honed from his years of star trek, Warhammer and Deus Ex Novels. Every page is filled with love and understanding of the source material in a way that I feel surpasses the most recent movie in many ways. In Jame's new novel we take a deeper look into the the mind of Kusanagi and her situation. Every inch of the action and setting is saturated in metaphor and lore that will quench even the most thirsty of fan.If your looking for a good read, or just want something fun to talk about with me over the next week, give this book a go on kindle or paperback over @https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Shell-Official-Mo…/…/1785657526Enjoy, for the tale is vast and infinite...
