Ghost in the Shell

Very stylish anime set in a future where the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds are blurred, and hence the concept of existence too.

In this world where bodies are interchangable you are generally considered a person if you have a "ghost line"; special code that cannot be artifically created.

The comic discussed different kinds of intelligence and had a fair amount of political commentary. The final appendix opened the very real idea that major Kusanagi, the lead role, must have died along time ago by being copied.

Heavily influenced by Bladerunner, the first ever Cyberpunk novel and arguably the first ever science fiction novel.

We are ghosts in shells.

Shell Game

Tactics used to deliberately confuse someone so that their previous agreements can be broken. (Made popular by street perfomers, where there are 3 shells or cups in a row. One shell or cup has a ball placed underneath. The performer moves all the shells around quickly and then stops. The subject is asked to guess where the ball is...usually incorrect.)

Mary said she had a great girl she wanted me to meet this weekend. On Thursday, I asked Mary "so Mary, what's this girll's name i'm meeting this weekend?" Mary replies "oh, i think it's Jenny or maybe it's Jason..i'll let you know. On Friday you ask "so Mary, is her name Jenny or Jason?" Mary replies "do I know you?" You call your friend and say Mary just played the Shell Game.
