Astro 2.0
In 2050, many people are cyborgs who have completely or partially replaced their bodies with artificial implants. Even the brain can be replaced with a few cells except for a so-called cyberbrain. Packed in a biocapsule (the so-called shell), each cyborg contains human brain cells with its ghost, identity and personality. The “ghost in the shell” could therefore represent an allegory for an artificial, man-made mind in the depths of technology. The mind that every human being has is digitized and it is located in an artificially created, cybernetic body. In other words, it is also an “artificial intelligence”. Astro doesnt really have a defect or malfunction , but he doesnt behave after his programming, evolved a free will and real emotions, instead of just reciprocating or simulating feelings. He is 'alive', he is not broken, but able of real emotions, not only the positive, but also negative emotions as anger, fear and sadness.
