Great SFX, little elsewhere
The Ghost in the Shell refers to the emerging technology of being able to put a human brain/soul (the ghost) inside an artificial body (the shell). In a world where everyone is getting cybernetic enhancements added to their bodies, Scarlett Johansson plays Major, the first such fully artificial creation, as she awakes to find herself inside a body she is unfamiliar with. From there her career as a soldier begins, looking to root out the growing threat of brain hacking in the city.
I feel like the plot has been done so many times before that as soon as the phrase "the first of her kind" was uttered I knew most of what was to follow. While the SFX were quite special, as with Ready Player One, I felt they were a little overdone and possibly just thrown in to distract from the clichéd plot and sparse action scenes.

The end of his book is just where it gets good and you start learning the real juicy stuff about the situation.
The world building is a little repetitive, there is economic crisis between the App World and the Real World. It’s interesting to see someone’s perspective in having a body for the first time. I’ve read sci-fi done better, but I’m excied to see where this rebellion goes.
