2010年8月10日 新刊ピックアップ

たくさん本は出ているけれど、良書がなかなか見つからないといった印象を受けます。いっぱい作ってひとつでも当たれば…という方針も分からなくもないけれど、丁寧に良い本を作ろうよとちょっと言いたいです。

文句を言っても仕方なし。本日のおもしろそうな新刊を見ていきましょう。

一冊目は攻殻機動隊の英語版です。

The Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface

The Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface

攻殻機動隊だったら英語の説明も楽しく読めそう。素子さんは"hyper-advanced cyborg"なのね…と。朝のリーディングにいかがでしょうか。

March 6, 2035. Motoko Aramaki is a hyper-advanced cyborg, a counter-terrorist net security expert, heading the investigative department of the giant multi-national, Poseidon Industrial. Partly transcending the physical world and existing in a virtual world of networks, Motoko is a fusion of multiple entities and identities, deploying remotely controlled prosthetic humanoid surrogates around the globe to solve a series of bizarre incidents. Meanwhile, Tamaki Tamai, a psychic investigator from the Channeling Agency, has been commissioned to investigate strange changes in the temporal universe, brought about by two forces, one represented by the teachings of a professor named Rahampol, and the other by the complex, evolving Motoko entity. What unfolds will all be in a day’s work—a day that will change everything, forever.

The long-awaited sequel to Shirow Masamune’s groundbreaking Ghost in the Shell, and one of the most highly anticipated graphic novel events in many years, Man-Machine Interface is Shirow’s most ambitious and complex story yet, with deep forays into philosophy and the meaning of artificial life, intelligence, and existence. Utilizing awe-inspiring digital effects on a level never before seen in the annals of graphic fiction, Shirow has raised the bar for what can be achieved, page after page!
