The Art of Ghost in the Shell

Fraser Simons

2019 reread: I’m going through for roll tables in Hack the Planet and can’t use much because it’s all drawing from an aesthetic not really compliant with the game, but it’s a great read still. Lots of great world building and stuff, again, I wish was explicit in the movie. 

I wish some of the details revealed in this book had been made use of and overt in the movie, it would have definitely helped the PR disaster and brought others to the movie.
