Film Theory: How to LIVE FOREVER! The Science of Ghost in the Shell (2017x19)

:

As a fan of both ghoulish specters and lignified cell walls I was SO EXCITED for Ghost in the Shell - until I found out that isn't what the title is referring to. Talk about false advertising. But seriously all joking aside, I am actually super excited for this film. I was a big fan of the anime, and am really looking forward to this live action reboot. But all the hype got me thinking about how possible creating "ghosts" actually is. And if so, is it actually worth it? I mean, wouldn't we just want AI? Well, actually maybe not. And we might be closer to realizing this potential than you might think.
