Ghost in the Shell (Mamoru Oshii, 1999) been many years since its release, but this manga classic that remains a reference today leaves us very interesting passages and dialogues. It
a society where cyborgs and humans are humanized mechanized, there is a moment when the protagonist specifically Motoko Kusanagi diver. This supports the theory of Haraway " late twentieth century ... we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; shortening, we are cyborgs" .

- Motoko Kusanagi, GitS.
"That's all there, information, including a simulated experience 1) or a dream is both reality and fantasy, I look at it, all the collects information that a person in your life is just a drop in the ocean. "
- Batou, GitS.
1) Note: a simulated experience is to be the same as the implantation of memories in the replicants of Blade Runner.
Kusanagi processes information in a particular and unique in its own way, that is the differentiating factor, which distinguishes it even from a physically identical.
Here we interpret a metaphor as in the scene before the water immersion indicated by Motoko Kusanagi : the network (which here know the internet) is vast and infinite.
The idea is as clear as it demonstrates the use of metaphor that has been linked to the network, navigator, browser, blog, surf ...
