Event Description

Join UCD Netsoc, Philsoc, and the Japanese Society for a movie night collaboration of the incredibly influential, sci-fi classic: Ghost in the Shell Synopsis: In this Japanese animation, cyborg federal agent, Motoko Kusanagi hunts a mysterious hacker known as "The Puppet Master", who illegally hacks into the computerized minds of cyborg-human hybrids. The narrative incorporates philosophical themes that focus on self-identity in a technologically advanced world. With her partner, she corners the hacker, but her curiosity about her identity sends the case in an unforeseen direction. We will meet up on Zoom and we will post the link to watch the movie via Kast in the chat. After watching, we can then have a discussion about our opinions and the philosophical themes of the movie.
