 My cuestión is:

Was Patrick Sylvester from Ghost in the Shell S.A.C 2nd gig a real person?

I've looked everywhere for the essay and can't find it. I only managed to find the "index".

 

Reflections on Nations and Revolutions:

Collected Preliminary Essays

by Patrick Sylvestre

 

1. the Rise of the Third estate

2. Breaking free from Domination

3. a Farewell to Kings

4. Aspiring towards Socialism

5. Eve of the Rapture

6. Parting ways with the Gøds

7. Castro and Guevara

8. Twelve years of Nihilism

9. a Return to Principles

10. 1932.05.15: the May revolution

11. Elusive Eleventh Essay: The Individual Eleven

 

Do you know if it really existed or was it invented?

Sorry for my English. It's not my first language.

Not as such.  "Patrick Sylvester" is a fictionalised version of Yukio Mishima.  Google him.

That's fascinating, I didn't realize that there was this connection between him and Ghost in the Shell. The infection of the Individual Eleven virus through an essay and its effects is very similar to the plot of Mishima's Runaway Horses, and of course, the author's own actions.
