Rather than plug a piece of hardware into our gray matter, how much more elegant to extract some brain cells, plop them into a Petri dish and graft on various sorts of gelatinous computing goo. Slug it all back into the skull and watch it run on blood sugar, the way a human brain's supposed to.

Ashitaka goes on a journey to find where the Tartari Gemi came from--specifically to find what or who created the iron slug he finds in the Tartari Gemi's corpse. Eventually, he discovers a group of iron-workers destroying an ancient forest and killing its gods. He also meets Princess Mononoke, a human girl raised by Moro, a Wolf Goddess, who is engaged in a war with the humans of the ironworks...
