SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
It is the year 2032 and the line between humans and machines
has been blurred almost beyond distinction. Humans have forgotten
that they are human and those that are left coexist with cyborgs
(human spirits inhabiting entirely mechanized bodies) and
dolls (robots with no human elements at all).
Batou is a cyborg. His body is artificial: the only remnants
left of his humanity, are traces of his brain?... and the
memories of a woman called The Major.
A detective for the government's covert anti-terrorist unit,
Public Security Section 9, Batou is investigating the case
of a gynoid-a hyper-realistic female robot created specifically
for sexual companionship-who malfunctions and slaughters her
owner.
As Batou delves deeper into the investigation, questions
arise about humanity's need to immortalize its image in dolls.
The answers to those questions lead to the shocking truth
behind the crime?... and quite possibly the very meaning of
life.
