Altered Carbon is one of those books that blows your mind in a surprising way. The TV series adaptation feels very close to Neuromancer and the cyber punk genre in its style. The story takes place in a dystopian society were technology has divided us even further. The rich and powerful are living a decadent life up in the clouds,<br> were the sun always shines. \n\nA body is referred to as a sleeve. A person can be resurrected into another sleeve after his\/her death. A person with enough money can grow a stack of clones of him selves. The elite are constantly backed up through a needle cast. This makes them almost immortal. \n\nThe strength of the story is the interesting meetings that happens through the sleeve transfers. An old grandmother is resleeved in a thugs body just to enjoy the holidays with her children and grand children. A mans wive is resleeved as a man. As the same person is resleeved into different genders and races I ask myself. What is the essence of my personality? How would immortality shape my judgement?",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"science\",<br>\"fiction\",<br>\"netflix\",<br>\"altered\",<br>\"carbon\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
