Ghost in the Shell

Exploring Identity and Evolution in Technology

Kuze I became fascinated with you, reading your code while you were inside that Geisha. Like nothing I had felt before, and yet so familiar. We are the same.

Major We’re not the same. You kill innocent people.

Kuze Innocent, is that what you call them? I am as they made me.

[...]

Kuze What a beauty you are. They have improved us so much, since they made me. They thought that we would be a part of their evolution, but they have created us to evolve alone. Beyond them.

[Removing a piece of Major's face and examining it]

Major Evolution, that’s what you call—killing everyone who made you.

Kuze You’re not listening to me.

Major You’re a murderer.

Kuze They tried to kill me first! It is self-defense. Defense of self!

The Desire for Fresh Experiences

Matthew I was one of the insatiables. The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen. Why do we sit so close? Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first. When they were still new, still fresh. Before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us. Before they'd been relayed back from row to row, spectator to spectator; until worn out, secondhand, the size of a postage stamp, it returned to the projectionist's cabin. Maybe, too, the screen was really a screen. It screened us... from the world.
