Trivia There are two sources for the title of the show. The first is the text at the beginning of the first episode, where it describes the psychology of some of those without cybernetic implants. Essentially, they have a "Stand Alone Complex"; they feel that they "stand alone" from the rest of humanity who have cybernetic implants, which allow those with them to communicate at any time with anyone who also has implants. The second source is a reference to the story itself. The term is used to describe an event where multiple people who have no associations with each other and are not part of a common group thus they "stand alone"through similar actions, seem to work together towards a common goal. This "complex" is Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 3 a number of times in the story, mainly about the laughing man Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 3, but also in reference to a few other cases the group encounters.

As a self admitted fan of the entire GitS series, I came into reading this book from a biased standpoint. Any semblance of story and interaction between the characters that I have grown to love and written by one of the shows original writers, no less would be good and relished, giving great leeway to any level of composition the novel is at. And that is, in a sense, what it came to. The book is fit perfectly in the GitS universe both in atmosphere, plot, and character. It could very easily hav As a self admitted fan of the entire GitS series, I came into reading this book from a biased standpoint. It could very easily have been adapted into an independent episode or two during either season and been acclaimed. However, the prose itself is lacking. In truth, I do not know whether this is the writer or the translator's fault or, what is likely, some combination thereof. There are a few passages that shine, give good credence to what was painted in the mind of the author. But the story is also littered with very terse, poorly phrased lines that break up the normally even flow of the book in an attempt to overemphasize the imagery. As for the good, that plot is the kind that I pine for in cyberpunk; intriguing, smart, compact, and reliant on the philosophy of advanced technology and its applications. While reading the summary, the notion that 'vampires' were on the loose gave me pause for doubt and even through the first 40 or so pagesbut those were quelled as the actual meat of the plot was served. Overall, if you like GitS, the book is a lost episode in a series that should have had a longer reign. If you are not a GitS fan Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 3 should bethe book won't have the same impact but will still entertain Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 3 well read cyberpunk reader.

To view it, click Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 3. Based on the TV show; I always wondered what happened to Tokyo after seeing its sunken remains on the show-- this book takes us into future Japan's refugee zones, and it doesn't pull any punches in depicting Japan's racism [present day presented here as the past] toward other Asians.

  • Understanding the Emerging Danger of the Stand Alone Complex
    Andrew DeMarco University Honors in Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics, and Government Capstone Advisor: Professor Andrea Tschemplik, CAS: Philosophy Standing Alone: Understanding the Emerging Danger of the Stand Alone Complex Japanese director and screenwriter, Kenji Kamiyama, has written works on the implications of the acceleration of technology, but it is in his most famous work, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, that he renders his most insightful and ominous theory about the changing nature of human society. Kamiyama proposes that in an increasingly interconnected society, the potential for individuals to act independently of one another, yet toward what may appear to others to be the same goal increases as well. Standalone individuals may be deceived into emulating the actions of an original actor for a perceived end when neither of these exist­­becoming “copycats without originals.” Kamiyama’s theory of the Stand Alone Complex is a valid one, and the danger it heralds needs to be addressed before the brunt of its effects are felt by those unable obtain remedy. What little literature exists on the theory is primarily concerned with medialogy, but the examination herein addresses the theoretical and philosophical grounding on which the theory stands. This study finds sufficient grounding for the theory through theoretical and philosophical discourse and historical case study. The practical and moral implications of the Stand Alone Complex are addressed through related frameworks, as Kant’s moral system provides a different perspective that informs legal discussions of intent. The implications for national governments are found highly dangerous, and further discourse on the theory is recommended, despite its “juvenile” origins.

  • CHAPTER THIRTY Anime's Situated Posthumanism: Representation, Mediality, Performance
    CHAPTER THIRTY Anime’s Situated Posthumanism: Representation, Mediality, Performance JAQUELINE BERNDT Anime, a popular media form from Japan, has been closely tied to posthuman critical discourse in Europe and North America. Designating primarily genre fiction appearing in cel animation, the name itself—an abbreviation of the English loanword animēshon—took roots in vernacular Japanese in the 1970s (cf. Berndt 2018). Roughly two decades later it began to enter the global lexicon. But contrary to the popular global definition—“Animation Made in Japan”—in Japanese discourse, anime is specified with regard to medium as cel, or cel-look, animation, serialized narratives produced on tight budgets and consequently rendered to the greatest possible extend in so-called limited rather than full animation;1 with regard to media, that is, institutions and practices of production, distribution, and consumption, as closely tied to television and manga (i.e., magazine-based printed comics). With manga, the traditional supplier of stories to be adapted, anime shares the commercial orientation, the format of serial narratives, the high degree of conventionality, and usually also the fandom. As a matter of fact, not all “anime” are TV series or related franchise movies, but categorizing these as anime in the same breath as animated feature films made for theatrical release by renowned director-auteurs (such as Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii) may become problematic Copyright © 2020. Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. All rights reserved. Publishing Plc. All © 2020. Bloomsbury Copyright beyond the narrow confines of medium specificity. Turning to anime, and manga, in search of contributions to, for example, posthumanism calls for a consideration of media affordances which change according to time, place, and audiences.
