Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society

A.D. 2034. Two years after Motoko Kusanagi’s departure from Section 9, the unit has grown in both size and scope under Togusa’s leadership. As a wave of intricate, interconnected cases spreads through the city, the investigation points toward a legendary hacker known as the Puppeteer, seemingly orchestrating the incidents from the shadows.

Working the mystery along his own path, Batou crosses paths with Motoko—only for her to leave him with a stark warning: “Stay away from the Solid State Society.” Her sudden reappearance raises unsettling questions about where her loyalties lie and what role she may play in the unfolding plot, as Section 9 closes in on the truth behind a meticulously constructed crime.
