In the year 2029, the
world is made borderless by the net; augmented humans live in virtual environments,
watched over by law enforcement that is able to download themselves into
super-powered, crime busting mecha.
The ultimate secret agent
of the future is not human, has no physical body and can freely travel the
information highways of the world, hacking and manipulating whatever and
whenever required.
The agent, created by
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is designated code name Project 2501 and
distanced from them under the pseudonym "The Puppet Master." 2501
seems to be the perfect solution to their international espionage requirements.
Everything runs smoothly until this prototype virtual agent concludes it
is a life form in its own right "born in a sea of information"
and requests political asylum and true physical existence in defiance of
its creator.
The race is on to recapture
the Top Secret Project 2501 before it succeeds in finding a host body and
escapes for good. What the Ministry of Foreign Affairs hasn't counted on
is the Puppet Master's cunning and reserve. It has threatened to expose
their illegal creation (itself) to the Internal Bureau of Investigations
who are unaware of its source, and regard the Puppet Master as a Grade A
priority security threat. The two agencies maneuver discreetly against one
another in a violent, high-tech race to capture the ever changing omnipresent
Puppet Master.
The Internal Bureau is
unaware of the Puppet Master's persuasive ability to offer seductive hints
at true freedom to their semi-cybernetic human agents, who are forced to
question their own validity as human beings. One of these agents, Major
Motoko Kusanagi, is a highly trained female agent sent to counter the Puppet
Master's threat, will have to make the ultimate decision when the Puppet
Master suggests a merger with her.
While the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are engaged in
direct explosive confrontation, Kusanagi must decide if she will fulfill
the Puppet Master's ultimate objective to become truly human and exist outside
of the Electronic Net.
