Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan (Novel)
Soon to be a Netflix series Altered Carbon, a new editon of popular science fiction "noir," featuring key art from the show. In the 25th century humankind has spread throughout the galaxy. While religious, class, and racial divisions still exist (monitored by the watchful eye of the UN), technology has changed in ways that have redefined life itself. Now a person's consciousness can be stored and routinely downloaded into a new body, making death little more than an inconvenience. Ex-UN envoy Takeshi Kovacs has been killed before, but his last death was particularly brutal. Sent across light years of space, re-sleeved into a body in San Francisco and thrown into the center of a conspiracy that is vicious even by the standards of a society that has forgotten how to value "life," he soon realizes that the shell that blew a hole in his chest was only the beginning of his problems.
