Such a great movie.

Shirow's vision of a post-digital society is extremely forward looking for 1990. Many of the themes he was interested in 25 years ago are only starting to come into focus now, which is pretty legit for a pop scifi author.

I cannot think of an anime film particularly that is as prescient as Ghost in the Shell.

For my money, the best non Miyazaki piece of art the genre ever produced.
