Take 1: Ghost in the Shell, the anime, imagines our cyborg future through hypnotic imagery to celebrate a sentient computer virus. Not for all tastes. Yet it shows the coming overlap between machine and human being in provocative detail.
Take 2: Machinery combined with a curvy woman results in the high-concept Ghost in the Shell. It’s eerie for what it anticipates, but don’t watch it with an English dub!
