It’s a detective story set in a gritty cyberpunk world where no one ever dies, every deviancy is available for a price, and staying young is as simple as buying a new body. It’s in this world that Takeshi Kovacs— Altered Carbon’s hero—must solve a bizarre murder and reckon with his past. >It’s too bad that the hotel Kovacs calls home is way more interesting than the hero it houses.
