The Laughing ManA short story written by J.D. Salinger. Full text is available here: http://www.freeweb.hu/tchl/salinger/laughingman.html Other Apperances The Laughing Man is a character in the anime series . He (or she) is an expert hacker who - in an age of cybernetics where people are directly wired into technology - can hack into other people, taking over their bodies or tricking their sensory input. The Complex story arc of the anime show focuses on the Laughing Man case, and on a medical/government conspiracy tied in to the fate of the Laughing Man. The hacker first appeared in the GITS: SAC storyline years earlier, assaulting the head of Cerrano Genomics in public, hiding his/her face from eyewitnesses and cameras with his Laughing Man logo. The logo is an animated image of a goofy-smile wearing a cap, with circling text paraphrasing a line from Salinger's more famous work The Catcher in the Rye, which reads: "I'd thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."
