「攻殻機動隊」
Ghost in the Shell is a futuristic, police/noir thriller, set around the mid-21st Century, dealing with the reality of corporate power structures, and cyber terrorism, against a backdrop of technological advancement, and transhumanist cyberisation, in a Neo-Japanese state.
The narrative follows the covert operations division of the Japanese National Public Security Commission Section 9. This unit specializes in combating tech-based crimes, with a lean toward Spec Ops weapons and tactics, as well as an investigative focus on hacking, data mining, and more traditional methods of information sleuthing, and detective work.
Ghost in the Shell expands its scope beyond the narrative by exploring many rich Philosophical, Economic, Social, and Political themes. With a weighting on Existentialism and Humanism, Consumerism, economic class disparity, Industrial political corruption, and Politically radicalised splinter groups.

Media like GITS??
I was wondering if there are any other pieces of media you guys know of that has a highly competent group of people that take on some kind of kind of clever and malevolent threat while exploring philosophical issues like the GITS series?

I DONT GET THE MOTIVE OF THE INDIVIDUAL ELEVEN!!!!
Sometimes the shows says there attacking refugee camps or something and then they say they want to free the refugees. And then again it’s said they do their attacks because of the increase in unemployment and rising taxes because of the refugees. So my question is are the individual eleven pro or anti refugees? And while we’re here… is the prime minister pro or anti refugees? Maybe I’m just dumb but I really don’t get it.

So, what's the best way of collecting Shirow Masamune's works, besides GITS?
What's the best way as of the time of this post? People ask here all the time about how to watch/read GITS, but it looks like the best place for Shirow Masamune enthusiasts. I think some of his books are out of print, therefore old books will be more valuable/expensive. There's Kindle versions on Amazon, but I would like to hold actual book versions.
Besides that, how much of the English versions have appropriate translations and non-flipped art? I read that the GITS manga has some loose translations in certain sentences that change context or subject, so I wonder if the same approach was done with the other works.

Can I watch the '96 movie without knowing any other material?
Basically what the title says. I'm thinking about buying a cd with the movie but I don't know anything about the series

What is this mask-like thing Mokoto wear? What is it for? I thought it is for thermoptic camouflage at first, but she can already become invisible at the first scene of the movie.

Question about Micromachine?
Ok in Stand Alone Complex, Micromachine are used for a lot of thing, like infecting someone so you can wire tap them, treat cancer and such... but how much can Micromachine augment the human body in Ghost in the Shell?
For example lets say you wanted enhanced abilities but you didn't want to become a full cyborg, how much could Micromachine augment your body in comparison to a full body state of the art cyborg?
