Cover Description:
Major Motoko Kusanagi is an officer in the Section 9 security force with a cybernetic body so heavily modified that she begins to doubt her own humanity. With her partners Bateau and Togusa, Kusanagi follows the trail of the mysterious and elusive hacker known as the Puppet Master. Under analysis, the Puppet Master reveals himself and demands political asylum, but before Section 9 can investigate further, however, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the shadowy Section 6, interferes and captures the Puppet Master’s shell. Kusanagi and Bateau quickly give chase, attempting to recover the Puppet Master. Section 6, however, is determined to keep him.

What is the true nature of the Puppet Master? Why is he so interested in Kusanagi? what drives Section 6 and why do they want the Puppet Master so badly?
