Will the fictional character of Motoko Kusanagi, created by Masamune Shirow in his 1990's manga, come to be real thanks to scientists like Kevin Warwick? For those who don't know the manga (and derivated series and movies) Ghost in the Shell, the story belongs the cyberpunk genre and features a world where, according to the introduction itself, the digital networks have spum around the planet and connect people together. Motoko Kusanagi is a full cyborg, leading the "section 9", a special and highly secret police force dealing with international cybercriminality and depending directly from the government. She can connect herself directly to the Internet and can contact her pals without having to use email, phones or any other traditional communicating device, simply contacting their brain through their prosthetic boosting device. She of course has a body that displays superhuman physical powers (strength, agility, and resistance). What animates her is her "ghost", a term defining what serves as a sort of digital soul to cyborgs of this fictional universe, in which you can actually "dive" using computer interfaces. However, this poses her many problem, not least that of her identity, the reality of her existence. And her super-boosted body simply doesn't belong to her, but to the government, meaning that if she wants to resign from her job, she won't be left with much but a few organic neurone, the only remnants of her past "humanity".
