She's really different! She has a cybernetic body, but she's kept her human emotions. In the world of the future, photo-electronics, nano-tech, mechanization, biology, networks and artificial intelligence are really developed. People's bodies and even their brains can be replaced with electronic and mechanical organs. You can get on the wireless networks anytime and anywhere, and get into anything from the biggest social organizations to an individual human. This has created all kinds of new crimes based on the networks. Kusanagi's Public Security Section Nine specializes in these new kinds of crimes brought about by humankind's excessive technological development and expanding desires.
