| Summary |
The year is 1999. Giant industrial machines called "Labors" are busy with the Babylon Project - reclaiming land from Tokyo Bay. But new technology also offers opportunities for new crimes, which is where the Patrol Labor (PatLabor) squad comes in. Now Captain Gotoh and his Special Vehicles Section 2 face a rash of berserk Labors, a sinister conspiracy involving genius programmer and suicide Eiichi Hoba, an unstoppable computer virus, politically motivated obstruction by their own department, and a typhoon. With all that, do they even have a ghost of a chance? Or will Tokyo be destroyed? |
